ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Republican opponents of Maryland’s congressional redistricting map expressed confidence Monday that they have submitted enough valid signatures to give voters a chance to reject it in November. Democrats questioned whether the GOP had reached its goal.

Delegate Neil Parrott, a Washington County Republican who has been leading the effort, said a total of 65,722 signatures had been turned in by midnight Saturday, the deadline. That’s nearly 10,000 more than the 55,736 valid signatures needed, and Parrott said he was confident the number would hold up to a review by the Maryland State Board of Elections.
