Len Lazarick - MarylandReporter.com:Congressional redistricting map targets Bartlett and reshapes 6th District

The congressional redistricting plan recommended to Gov.
Martin O’Malley, as expected, targets Republican Rep. Roscoe Bartlett in the 6th Congressional
District, taking Carroll County and much of Frederick County out of the
district, according to a map given to MarylandReporter.com and others Monday
night.
The Republican official who shared the map said, “It was
presented tonight [Monday] by the governor to a small group of people.” The map and its accompanying commentary appear to be the official
draft of the Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Committee.
The Associated Press and The Washington Post are reporting that the plan was
approved Monday morning by the committee in 4-1, with only Republican former
Del. James King dissenting.
The plan would make it more likely that Democrats could pick
up another of Maryland’s eight districts in addition to the six they already
hold.
The shapes of the 6th and 8th Congressional
Districts are much like a map MarylandReporter.com published two weeks ago,
with the 6th taking on half of Montgomery County. A large part of northern
Frederick County is attached to the 8th Congressional District now
represented by Rep. Chris Van Hollen, ranking Democrat on the House Budget
Committee.
The presentation that explains the maps says: “Approximately
70% of Marylanders stay in their current Congressional District” and the “plan
does not draw any incumbent member of Congress out of his district.”
The other six congressional districts look much like “option
1” leaked to the Post and Baltimore Sun on Friday.
As shown in those maps and the earlier one, the 1st
Congressional District now represented by freshman Republican Andy Harris
becomes an even more solidly Republican and rural district. It includes all of
the Eastern Shore, most of Harford County, and runs across the top of Baltimore
County to include half the land area of Carroll County... http://marylandreporter.com/2011/10/04/congressional-redistricting-map-targets-bartlett-and-reshapes-6th-cd/
