Republicans in California have initiated a legal action in federal court this Wednesday, contesting a significant redistricting measure that has the potential to shift as many as five congressional seats for Democrats.
The measure, the ballot measure, received approval by the electorate Tuesday night, representing a clear win for Democrats. The plan temporarily gives the authority to delineate electoral boundaries to the California legislature, enabling it to approve district maps that will help the Democratic party gain five seats in the House of Representatives.
The plan is a targeted countermeasure to partisan redistricting in the state of Texas, where Republicans, at the US president’s behest, have created several new districts favoring Republicans.
