GOP Lodge Lawsuit Against Redistricting Measure
Republicans in the state of California have initiated a legal action in federal court on Wednesday, contesting a high-stakes redistricting measure that has the potential to flip as many as five congressional seats to the benefit of Democrats.
Voter-Approved Measure Grants Power to Legislature
The measure, the ballot measure, was approved by voters Tuesday night, representing a decisive victory for the Democratic side. The plan temporarily gives the power to draw congressional districts to the California legislature, enabling it to adopt maps that will help Democrats pick up five seats in the US House of Representatives.
Response to Partisan Redistricting in Texas
The plan is a targeted countermeasure to partisan redistricting in the state of Texas, where Republicans, following the US president's direction, have created several new districts favoring Republicans.
