Republicans Lodge Lawsuit Against Redistricting Measure
GOP members in the state of California filed a legal action in federal court this Wednesday, challenging a significant redistricting initiative that could shift up to five congressional seats to the benefit of the Democratic party.

This initiative, the ballot measure, was approved by the electorate Tuesday night, representing a clear win for the Democratic side. The plan temporarily gives the power to draw congressional districts to the California legislature, enabling it to adopt district maps that will help the Democratic party gain five seats in the House of Representatives.
Response to Gerrymandering in the state of Texas
The plan is a direct response to partisan redistricting in the state of Texas, where Republicans, at the US presidentâs behest, have carved out several new safe Republican districts.
