The above part of the graphic shows Question 3 as written by Democrats in the General Assembly. Below is Question 3 as rewritten by the Supreme Court of Maryland.
The revised question still opens by discussing the redistricting requirements of the Maryland General Assembly. Does anyone really believe that's why the General Assembly called a special session? Not a chance, and Governor Wes Moore's own proclamation said so.
Despite the Maryland Constitution requiring that amendments be single-subject, Maryland is breaking new ground for the first time in its history: a single ballot question will contain three separate components.
Even more troubling, the Supreme Court gave Maryland Democrats the green light to violate the Declaration of Rights in redistricting.
The Majority's rewritten ballot question is still misleading. Maryland voters would have no way of knowing that the criteria being removed include the protections guaranteed by the Declaration of Rights. These are the sacred rights that shield Marylanders from government overreach. If this amendment passes, Articles 7, 24, and 40 of the Declaration of Rights will no longer apply to congressional redistricting. Those are the very provisions that allow Marylanders to challenge a district map drawn to target religious minorities or punish citizens for their political beliefs.
The average Maryland voter would not understand that a vote for Question 3 is a vote to strip away rights they currently hold under the Declaration of Rights.
Sad day for all Marylanders. Vote NO on Question 3.
