Republicans File Legal Challenge Against Redistricting Measure
Republicans in California filed a federal lawsuit on Wednesday, challenging a significant redistricting initiative that has the potential to flip as many as five House seats for the Democratic party.
Voter-Approved Proposition Grants Authority to Legislature
This initiative, Proposition 50, received approval by voters Tuesday night, marking a clear win for the Democratic side. The plan temporarily gives the authority to delineate electoral boundaries to the state's legislative body, enabling it to approve maps that will help the Democratic party pick up five seats in the House of Representatives.
Response to Gerrymandering in Texas
The plan is a direct response to partisan redistricting in Texas, where GOP lawmakers, at the US president’s behest, have created a number of new districts favoring Republicans.
