Republicans File Legal Challenge Opposing Boundary Changes Initiative
GOP members in the state of California have initiated a legal action in federal court this Wednesday, challenging a significant redistricting measure that could shift as many as five congressional seats for Democrats.
Voter-Approved Proposition Assigns Power to State Lawmakers
The measure, the ballot measure, was approved by voters on Tuesday evening, representing a decisive victory for Democrats. The plan temporarily gives the authority to delineate congressional districts to the California legislature, allowing it to approve district maps that will help the Democratic party gain five seats in the US 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.
