Maryland Gov. Moore issues executive order officially calling special session

Maryland Gov. Moore has officially called a special legislative session from August 3-5 to address the redistricting of the state's congressional districts. This move comes after House and Senate leaders agreed on the need for new legal standards to ensure fair and equitable districting. This is crucial as it aims to correct past issues related to gerrymandering and to ensure representation that reflects current population data. The special session underscores the state's commitment to upholding democratic principles and fair electoral practices.
