Real Talk From A Maryland Resident
We're already gerrymandered to protect Democrats in MD-6 (Western MD) and MD-5 (Southern MD). To shrink MD-1 (NE Maryland and Eastern Shore) they would have to move things to the east. That would have the potential to open up 5 and 6, which are in more conservative areas, to electing Republicans.
Of course, if they want to put us in MD-8 (Raskin) rather than MD-4 (Ivey), I'm down for that.
