Republicans in the state of California have initiated a legal action in federal court this Wednesday, challenging a significant redistricting measure that has the potential to flip up to five congressional seats to the benefit of the Democratic party.
The measure, Proposition 50, received approval by voters Tuesday night, representing a decisive victory for Democrats. The plan temporarily gives the authority to draw congressional districts to the state's legislative body, enabling it to approve maps that will help the Democratic party gain five congressional seats in the US House of Representatives.
The plan is a direct response to partisan redistricting in the state of Texas, where GOP lawmakers, at the US president’s behest, have created several new districts favoring Republicans.
