Maryland lawmakers have begun a special session to discuss a partisan redistricting initiative. This initiative could potentially help Democrats gain an additional US House seat by 2028. The proposal involves a constitutional amendment that would give Democrats more flexibility in drawing congressional maps.

If approved by voters, lawmakers could then consider new district lines. Further details on this development are available from KSAT 12's source. The initiative is part of a larger national debate over redistricting, which has been ongoing for a year and has already impacted the US House map.
