I couldn’t disagree more with Colin Pascal’s recent op-ed (“Bill Ferguson took an honorable stand against redistricting,” Nov. 10).
Gov. Wes Moore is moving ahead with a redistricting plan. He gets it. He knows that Democrats keep losing elections because they won’t play by the same rules as the GOP. Yes, gerrymandering is undemocratic. It lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. If congressional Republicans hadn’t blocked H.R. 1 in 2019 and 2021, partisan gerrymandering would have been prohibited. But they did.
Virginia and Indiana may soon join red states like Texas, Missouri and North Carolina in rigging the game in favor of Republicans. Blue states need to play just as dirty. California is trying. Maryland should too.
