Republicans Lodge Lawsuit Against Boundary Changes Initiative
Republicans in the state of California have initiated a legal action in federal court this Wednesday, contesting a high-stakes redistricting measure that could shift as many as five congressional seats for the Democratic party.
Electorate-Backed Measure Grants Authority to Legislature
The measure, Proposition 50, was approved by the electorate Tuesday night, representing a clear win for the Democratic side. The plan temporarily gives the authority to delineate congressional districts to the California legislature, enabling it to approve maps that will help Democrats gain five seats in the House of Representatives.
Response to Gerrymandering in the state of 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 districts favoring Republicans.
