ANNAPOLIS — Maryland voters confused about how to vote NO on Question 3 this November can relax.

The Canton Cat has prepared this easy instructional guide using techniques understood by humans, cats, and even state legislators.

Step 1: Find Question 3.

It will be the one wrapped in enough legal language to make “give Annapolis more redistricting power” sound like you’re approving a new public library.

Do not be distracted.

That is how they get you.

Step 2: Locate the word “NO.”

This may be difficult because Annapolis has spent months behaving as though the option doesn’t exist.

It does.

I checked.

With my paw.

Step 3: Fill in the bubble next to NO.

Not “maybe.”

Not “I trust the legislature.”

Not “surely they’ll use this responsibly.”

NO.

Think of it as spraying a political cat with a water bottle while it’s climbing onto the kitchen counter.

PSST. GET DOWN.

Step 4: Ignore anyone telling you this is about “fair maps.”

Maryland Democrats currently hold seven of eight congressional seats and have apparently concluded the real injustice is that one Republican remains unsupervised on the Eastern Shore.

Apparently 7–1 is democracy.

8–0 is democracy, but optimized.

Step 5: Remember what Question 3 actually does.

It gives Annapolis politicians another path to reopen congressional maps.

Because if there is one thing every Maryland voter has been demanding lately, it is:

“Please give politicians more control over choosing their voters.”

Said absolutely nobody standing in line at Royal Farms.

Step 6: Vote NO and leave.

That’s it.

No advanced degree required.

No constitutional law seminar.

No 47-page explanation from Jamie Raskin.

Just:

Question 3?

NO.

Then go home, feed your cat, complain about your BGE bill, and enjoy the rare satisfaction of telling Annapolis:

You already have enough crayons.
