Sanders, where it was held that the populations of the
|
|
2
|
Congressional Districts had to be substantially equal.
|
|
3
|
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Marion.
|
|
4
|
DELEGATE MARION: Delegate Gallagher, you point
|
|
5
|
out that Congress has just enacted a law which would
|
|
6
|
prohibit at-large Congressional Districts, at least for the
|
|
7
|
State of Maryland. It doesn't apply to every single state,
|
|
8
|
I take it; is that correct?
|
|
9
|
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: That is correct. Originally
|
|
10
|
they exempted Hawaii and New Mexico specifically, but
|
|
11
|
dropped them out eventually.
|
|
12
|
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Marion.
|
|
13
|
DELEGATE MARION: If that law should subsequently
|
|
14
|
be repealed so that there is no federal prohibition against
|
|
15
|
an at-large Congressional District, would it be your
|
|
16
|
understanding that the language provided in Section 3.03(b)
|
|
17
|
would so prohibit in Maryland an at-large Congressional
|
|
18
|
District?
|
|
19
|
DELEGATE GALLAGHER: That would be my under-
|
|
20
|
standing.
|
|
21
|
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Marion.
