GOP File Lawsuit Against Boundary Changes Initiative
GOP members in California filed a federal lawsuit this Wednesday, contesting a high-stakes redistricting initiative that has the potential to flip up to five congressional seats to the benefit of the Democratic party.
Electorate-Backed Proposition Grants Power to Legislature
This initiative, Proposition 50, received approval by voters on Tuesday evening, representing a clear win for the Democratic side. The plan grants on a temporary basis the power to draw electoral boundaries to the California legislature, enabling it to adopt maps that will help the Democratic party gain five congressional seats in the US House of Representatives.
Response to Gerrymandering in Texas
The plan is a targeted countermeasure to gerrymandering in the state of Texas, where GOP lawmakers, following the US president's direction, have created a number of new safe Republican districts.
