“As Republican Indiana state senators lost their seats this week in a revenge-fueled primary after defying President Donald Trump on redistricting, the prominent Maryland Democrat who also sank partisan gerrymandering took note,” the Washington Post reports.
“Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson (D) faces a Democratic version of that retribution, drawing the most difficult primary challenge of his 16-year career.”
“Like the ousted Indiana Republicans, Ferguson defied demands from his party’s leaders to create new congressional maps to boost chances of controlling the U.S. House. He, too, faces political consequences after rejecting efforts to eliminate the state’s one GOP-leaning House district.”
