House Speaker Joseline Pena-Melnyk reacts to the calls for a special session from Sen. Ellis.
“With the Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act, the urgency is only greater, and the House stands ready to act to protect voters and strengthen our democracy.”
One Maryland lawmaker is renewing his push for redistricting. Sen. Arthur Ellis, who is running for Congress, says there needs to be a special session to evaluate the maps.
Ellis points to Voting Rights Act ruling from SCOTUS, and says there's now "urgency" to act.
