The agreement means that, after months of legal wrangling, Maryland’s congressional map is set for the upcoming midterm elections and for the next decade.Also on Monday, a special magistrate for the Maryland Court of Appeals recommended that the newly drawn state legislative map — the subject of separate legal challenges — should stand.
Battaglia called the map Democrats passed in December a “product of extreme partisan gerrymandering” disadvantaging Republicans, joining a cohort of state judges across the country willing to take on the issue. She found the Maryland map violated rules in the state constitution requiring districts to be compact and to respect political subdivisions, among other things.
A spokesman for the governor said that Battaglia’s approval of the congressional map would no longer be required.
