Maryland's Highest Court Doesn't Change Legislative Map |
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Maryland's highest court on Wednesday affirmed a special magistrate's recommendations not to change the state's legislative map, which was challenged on constitutional grounds.
The Maryland Court of Appeals issued an order confirming that the state's primary will take place on July 19. The order also notes that Friday at 9 p.m. is the deadline for candidates to file to run. The order came just hours after lawyers gave oral arguments over the constitutionality of the state's legislative map.
The map designates boundaries for 188 seats in the state legislature and was approved in January by the General Assembly, which is controlled by Democrats, despite claims of gerrymandering. Attorneys for Republican lawmakers focused on the lack of compactness of certain districts in the middle of the state.

Report Reveals Federal Poverty Data Undercounts How many Children Grow up Amid Financial Insecurity |
Salisbury, MD – The majority of Maryland’s Black and Latinx children — 61% and 68% respectively — lived in households that couldn’t afford the basics in 2019, compared to 31% of White children, according to a new report from United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore and its research partner United For ALICE. Locally, for Black and Latinx children in the tri-county Lower Shore area (Worcester, Wicomico, and Somerset Counties) it is 63% and 61% respectively, compared to 39% white children. In the Upper-Shore area (which includes Dorchester County), it is 78% Black, 83% Latinx, and 26% White children who couldn’t afford the basics in 2019.
The new report, ALICE in Focus: Children, reveals the disproportionate impact of financial hardship on the state’s Black and Latinx children, while also challenging the reliance on federal poverty guidelines for eligibility for assistance programs. The report finds traditional measures of poverty have severely undercounted the number of children of all races growing up in financially insecure households.
