US EditionCalifornia Republicans sue to block Democratic redistricting plan
California Republicans argue Democrats rushed redistricting without the constitutionally required 30-day review, seeking to bypass the independent commission for political gain in upcoming elections.
- On Tuesday, Dhillon Law Group Inc. and several California Republican state lawmakers filed an emergency petition with the California Supreme Court seeking to delay redistricting legislation activity until Sept. 18.
- Democratic leaders are advancing a package that would temporarily give lawmakers power to redraw districts for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections, while Republicans say Democrats used a gut-and-amend tactic to push the plan rapidly.
- Over the next three days, legislators are expected to hear, vote and approve three bills that would put proposed congressional maps on the Nov. 4 special election ballot, with all bills needing passage by August 22.
- The filing asks the California Supreme Court to pause redistricting actions, arguing the Nov. 4 special election plan is unconstitutional under the California Constitution.
- Voters enshrined California's independent redistricting process after two ballot measures, with recent polling showing nearly two-to-one preference for the commission amid Texas Republicans' mid-decade map changes.
