It used to be gerrymandered to fuck. It was only recently rectified.

They were packing urban districts and cutting up rural districts to make safe seats. How the sixth and the eighth cut up Montgomery county to give it far flung rural districts was particularly funny. The first was a dedicated Republican seat so they purely packed the Eastern shore and other rural areas in it. Sixth used to be a Republican district before they packed urban Montgomery county into it. The sixth is competitive now that it doesn't have a big chunk of Rockville in it.
