Control over redistricting.

Governor doesn't control this the MGA does. He can only recommend a map.
Miller, Busch & Co. are the ones who transferred power from the Gov. to the AG when the unthinkable -- a Republican Governor -- occurred by accident.
The people's will be damned. Maryland Democrats know best how to run your life, and if they want your opinion they'll tell you what it is.
Whats in our benefit?
Will it be the same as the last 4 years?
More antigun bills to be signed into law?
When is the last time a Republican Governor was elected a Second term in this state?
I thought about this the other day though i know there is a Hogan thread but this is the what "IF" Governor Hogan Wins for a second term.
Where are the Hogan fans to explain to me this is election year politics
Absolutely, and a day late. The other "Republican Governor" up for vote in the NE joined first https://www.vox.com/2018/6/18/17475...publican-governor-massachusetts-charlie-baker
I think the Bos-Wash corridor is destined to be Socially Liberal "Republicans", with the urban population density outpacing rural in the region. Didn't most the Maryland Republican Delegates vote their conscious and green light to HB1302 when no one was looking?
Those of you harping on about gerrymandering and redistricting,,,a few points
1) Maryland is close to 70% dem. Redistricting will not give a majority of Rs in the GA no matter how you slice it
2) The election in November will be prior to any redistricting so more than likely the dems will keep their super majority and will continue to have the power to override a veto
3) new districts will have no effect until the 2022 election, chances are damn good we will see another D in the governor's mansion with a smaller dem majority, but with a D governor it wont matter..
my point is voting for Hogan is an exercise in futility. Even if he had not throw us and our rights under the bus, not much is going to change. If you don't value your rights, by all means vote for Hogan...but don't expect anything to change for 2A supporters.
People who "can't vote for Hogan" please explain two things.
1. Who do you think will win the general election?
2. How will this person be better than Hogan?
