Master. In my view, the State's 2002 Legislative Redistricting Plan, subject to the change
proposed by the Special Master, meets Maryland Constitutional requirements and is, therefore,
valid. See Md. Const., art. III, § 4. In addition, the Final Plan adopted by the Court today raises
serious concerns pursuant to section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. See 42 U.S.C § 1973 (1965).
Accordingly, I respectfully dissent, for reasons to be set forth in a dissenting opinion later
to be filed when the Court's opinion is filed.
Amended Order follows:
