What people have to remember is that the legislative mass that we have right now in the state of Maryland

were actually drawn in three days. And so I think it is absolutely high time that Maryland say

that if these other states are going to take a look at this in a mid-cycle, mid-decade process,

then the state of Maryland should do the exact same thing.

And so I would argue that the process that we will have here coming out of the crack

Politico reports about the energy in the Democratic Party and pressure on states to act after

a constitutional amendment that would likely net the party to House seats,

while National Democrats are preparing to send resources to the state to get voters to sign on.
