US EditionCalifornia GOP to sue after voters approve Prop 50 measure for new congressional districts
California GOP alleges Proposition 50 maps violate constitutional amendments by favoring Latino voters and seeks injunction to clarify districts before 2026 elections, lawsuit funded by NRCC.
- On Wednesday, the California Republican Party filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California challenging the new congressional map after voters approved Proposition 50 on Tuesday.

- Dhillon Law Group, led by Harmeet K. Dhillon, represents the California Republican Party and voters, alleging the map favors Hispanic voters by increasing such districts from 14 to 16, violating the 14th and 15th Amendments and the Voting Rights Act.

- With the Supreme Court considering race-related redistricting cases, a three‑judge federal panel could issue a temporary restraining order before Dec. 19, influencing 2026 candidate filings.
