US House Redistricting 2012: plan to lump Rockville/Gaithersburg in with western MD

Silverlode · Jul 13, 2011

Martin O'Malley received 647,000 votes from 4 voting districts (Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Prince George's County and Montgomery County)

Robert Ehrlich received 776,000 votes from 24 voting districts.

Majority of Dems would be an understatement. When you get 88% of the vote in a county that has 230,000 voters its not too hard. (Prince George's)

My point being that the defense that it is only a few super crazy liberal democrats doesn't cut the mustard. People are voting these Marxist scum into office. Moderate/conservative leaning Dems should take responsibility for themselves at least and leave the party that left them a long time ago.

And for the record, I am not a republican and never have been.

Sure, they want to water down the conservative vote in Western Maryland just like they did when they combined Howard County and Baltimore City.

maybe though if Western MD is in part of your district you'll get some more Republican votes like the guy above indicated

or more likely it will just give our disctrict the Dem majority that Annapolis desires.

I agree with the watering down of the vote. Its a few crazys that run democrat and people who have been told to vote the party line for so longthey just vote for whatever democrat is in the ballot.

The problem as I as I see it is that it needs to be non political how the district lines are drawn even if it does favor one side or another. They should not be curved and manipulated but drawn on simple population alone. Maryland has 8 districts and say for ease of math 5 million people. So start from the left or right hand side of the state and draw boxes containing 625,000 people then move to the next box.

I know that sorry I have a analytical mind and things should be empirically based on observable evidence anything that is decided based on emotion is flawed to begin with. I will concede victory of any political faction as long as the outcome is based on facts and not emotions.

Well that's enough making sense for one night back to normal MDS BS.

You just lost almost every single politician in Maryland. They are all running to dictionaries to look this up because not a single one of them have a clue what this means.

Why bother opening a dictionary when you can photoshop mbz into a photo of a San Francisco brothel and then quietly disseminate it throughout the state to destroy his credibility? Reading stuff is so much work.

I know MBZ, that isn't photoshopped..... hahahahaah

I'm being racially discriminated by this proposed gerrymandering. Any organization that needs a "plaintiff" in their lawsuit against this highly discriminatory gerrymandering is free to PM me.

Donna "Bankruptcy" Edwards is taking away my civil rights!!!

It isn't either/or with the redistricting ... the MD legislature is going for whole hog. No matter what else happens, I am certain Harris's current residence will be chopped out of the first district ... it doesn't belong there any way.

I fully expect Dr. Harris to change his legal residence to a condo in Ocean City after all the dust settles - and his old house is no longer in the 1st.

The system's broken, but I still believe it can work. There are plenty of conservatives in this state. It's just that too many of them have just given up. I believe more people need to stand up, speak out, talk to friends, acquaintances and Democrats and get out and VOTE. :thumbsup:

The Broadneck Peninsula (Arnold/Cape St. Claire) is lumped in with a non-connected Democratic majority in PG County. This isn't right! It's worse than gerymandering!
