In final blow to Pr. George’s council, Maryland Court of Appeals affirms ruling on redistricting

In what amounted to a final blow for the Prince George’s County Council, the Maryland Court of Appeals on Monday affirmed that the council must throw out its widely panned redistricting map — a decision that will affect races already underway this election season. The ruling upheld a lower-court ruling directing the council to adopt district lines proposed by its nonpartisan redistricting commission.
