Winners
Baltimore County: The county gets five districts entirely within its borders, up from three in Gov. Parris N. Glendening's plan. Dundalk, which had been divided, is now in a single district.
Sen. J. Lowell Stoltzfus:The Senate minority leader, who had been thrown into a fellow Republican's district under Glendening's plan, has the 38th District to himself.
Sen. Clarence M. Mitchell IV:The court drew a 44th District in which Mitchell is the only incumbent, and it has far more black voters than in the governor's map.
Sen. Norman R. Stone Jr.:The dean of the Senate, a loser under the Glendening plan, has his political hopes resurrected. He's the only incumbent senator in his district.Losers
Baltimore: The city loses two Senate seats and six delegates it would have had under the governor's map. If senior leaders fall as a result, the city could lose clout in Annapolis.
Gov. Parris N. Glendening:The court totally redrew his map of the Baltimore area. Some old foes are now likely to survive his efforts to oust them; some of his allies are in jeopardy.
Sen. Barbara A. Hoffman:The Senate budget committee chairwoman's district was wiped out. Now, she's in a majority black district represented by a fellow Democrat, Sen. Clarence Blount. Even if he retires, Hoffman could face a tough re-election battle.
S. Baltimore Democrats:Two city senators, Perry Sfikas and George W. Della Jr., and five delegates, all Democrats, share a single 46th District.
