From 2007-2015 then Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley helped to redraw the 2nd district of Maryland in a gerrymandering move to make it more “Blue.” It was successful and was even upheld in the court system. This area initially was farm areas but was reconfigured to include parts of the city to make the entire district resemble a snake, quite appropriate if you ask me.
I presently live in district 2 and now my representative is none other than Johnny Olszewski, past County Executive of Baltimore County who turned out to be a miserable failure but has now been elevated to US Congressman through this redistricting.
He has never had the farmer’s interest at heart,
instead dedicating his attention to additional section 8 housing along the
Light Rail areas that run adjacent to the York Rd Corridor.
Maryland has had a super majority in the legislature
for years tilted towards the left. Even when past Republican Governor Larry
Hogan vetoed one of the bills, it was over ruled by the super majority.
Ok so that was Maryland for the past 19 or so years.
Flash forward to right now in the State of Texas.
Gov. Abbott is seeking to redistrict certain areas of
Texas, one of which might eliminate Rep Jasmine Crockett’s seat. Now the Republican
Texas Legislature lost its super last November, but that doesn’t mean they can’t
do redistricting, and the Democrats are livid!
State legislature Democrats are threatening to leave
the state to prevent a quorum on the redistricting vote.Gov. Abbott has
threatened to have then arrested and charged if they do so.
This showdown will happen soon, but as you recall they
tried this political stunt 4 years ago when they didn’t get their way. It would
appear as though this time Gov. Abbott isn’t playing around.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, be
careful what you wish for Democrats!
