The California Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a petition filed by state Republican legislators seeking to halt Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) plan to redistrict California’s congressional map.
“Petitioners have failed to meet their burden of establishing a basis for relief at this time under California Constitution article IV, section 8,” reads a brief order posted to the docket.
Newsom has hit back at Republican redistricting efforts in Texas by pushing for a special election this November to get voters’ approval on a more favorable House map for Democrats in California in time for the 2026 midterms.
Governor Newsom is moving to counter attempts by Texas to keep Republicans in control of House of Representatives. New York Governor Kathy Hochul is also making nose redistricting in New York State as a means counter the move by Texas. This is just the beginning of the 2026 Election. Yes, I will be voting for Redistricting.
