Governor Wes Moore argues that partisan and racial gerrymandering have created uncompetitive congressional maps across the country, leading to politicians picking their voters instead of the other way around. He cites a Supreme Court decision on Louisiana as an example of political redlining that disenfranchises Black voters and calls for national redistricting reform to address this systemic issue. He emphasizes that this is not just a partisan issue but an assault on democratic frameworks.
