Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan signed a revised congressional map Monday that passed the Democratically controlled state legislature.
His signature came after state Attorney General Bryan Frosh, a Democrat, dropped an appeal of state Judge Lynne A. Battaglia’s ruling last month that the original map unfairly favored Democrats.
The new map removed Democrat-leaning areas from the 1st District of Rep. Andy Harris, the only Republican in the state congressional delegation. It also made changes to Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s 5th District.
