The decision came down in a one-sentence order that provided no explanation or dissents. Republicans had asked the high court to block California's redrawn district lines, alleging they were racially gerrymandered.

The map, drawn by Democratic lawmakers and passed by voters last November through the Proposition 50 ballot measure, gives the party an opportunity to pick up as many as five House seats as they seek to win a majority in the chamber this fall.

Republicans had zero problem with Texas changed their Congressional Maps to help Trump, California drew new maps and Republicans have fit.

Another poll shows two Republicans leading governor’s race.​

The poll was conducted by Civic Lens Research, a fledgling nonpartisan polling firm based in Virginia.

It surveyed 400 likely California primary voters via a web questionnaire sent by text message between Dec. 14 and Dec. 16. Steve Hilton, a Republican and former Fox News host, leads in the poll with support from nearly 18% of respondents.

Another Republican candidate, Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco, had 14%.

The top Democrat was Rep. Eric Swalwell — who got into the race last month — with support from 12% of those surveyed. He was followed by former Rep. Katie Porter, who had 9%.

More people will leave. More corporate interests and businesses will leave. Mexico will have a stronger say also unfortunately.

Is that a surprise? There is no way that even these right wing partisan hack judges could say that Texas can use a new map and California cannot. The legal argument that Republicans made was nonsensical.

Highly unlikely two Republicans will end up in the general election. When it gets closer to the primary the lesser supported Dems will drop out and support will consolidate around the top tier.

Ironically, they're probably going to lose more seats in the midterms now than they would have had they just left it alone.

They get what they deserve.

Dems are master of Gerrymandering. It’s literally named after a Democrat.

Texas was in response to Gerrymandering already going on in New England.

A you show us how many Republican seats there are in all those blue states? Practically none.

Dems can’t win honest elections. If they could, why do they need to Gerrymander so much? As well as rig elections?
