BALTIMORE — Attorney General Anthony G. Brown released the following statement after the Supreme Court of Maryland ruled that Question 3, the proposed congressional redistricting constitutional amendment, may remain on the November ballot with revised ballot language:
“I commend the attorneys and staff of the Office of the Attorney General who successfully defended the constitutional amendment approved by the General Assembly. As Maryland’s chief legal officer, I have a responsibility to defend the constitutionality and legal sufficiency of measures enacted or approved by the General Assembly when they are challenged in court, and our team carried out that responsibility with skill and professionalism.
“With today’s ruling, the question will remain on the ballot, and Maryland voters will have the opportunity to decide the matter for themselves in November.”
