GOP Lodge Legal Challenge Opposing Boundary Changes Initiative
Republicans in the state of California have initiated a federal lawsuit this Wednesday, challenging a high-stakes redistricting measure that has the potential to shift up to five congressional seats to the benefit of Democrats.
Electorate-Backed Measure Assigns Power to Legislature
The measure, the ballot measure, was approved by voters on Tuesday evening, marking a clear win for Democrats. The plan temporarily gives the power to draw electoral boundaries to the California legislature, enabling it to approve maps that will help the Democratic party gain five congressional seats in the US House of Representatives.
