Republicans File Legal Challenge Opposing Boundary Changes Initiative
Republicans in the state of California filed a federal lawsuit this Wednesday, challenging a high-stakes redistricting initiative that has the potential to flip up to five House seats to the benefit of the Democratic party.
Voter-Approved Proposition Grants Power to Legislature
The measure, the ballot measure, was approved by the electorate Tuesday night, representing a clear win for Democrats. The plan temporarily gives the power to delineate electoral boundaries to the state's legislative body, enabling it to approve maps that will help the Democratic party pick up five seats in the US House of Representatives.

The plan is a direct response to gerrymandering in Texas, where GOP lawmakers, at the US president’s behest, have carved out a number of new safe Republican districts.
