A lawmaker from Maryland has introduced legislation to redraw the Democrat-dominated Old Line State’s congressional maps, potentially marking the latest escalation in a national battle over redistricting.

“I submitted this because we need to fight back by sending a message to other states,” wrote state Sen. Clarence Lam, whose district includes the outskirts of Baltimore, in a thread on X announcing the legislation.
