US EditionJustice Department Sues to Block California Prop 50 Congressional Map
The DOJ joined a Republican-led suit alleging California's map favors Hispanic voters and Democrats by up to five seats, aiming to block its use in the 2026 election.
- On Thursday, the U.S. Justice Department sued in California federal court to block new congressional boundaries approved by California voters last week, asking a judge to prohibit the state from using the map.
- California voters last week approved Proposition 50 to redraw lines aiming to help Democrats win five Republican-held seats next year after Texas Republicans' redistricting moves.
- The Justice Department alleges the map was rushed and used race as a proxy to favor Hispanic voters, claiming the prior map was 'junked'.
- With Republicans holding 219 seats to Democrats' 214, the map's fate matters as Democrats need a handful of pickups to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives next year.
- The contest attracted tens of millions in outside spending, including a $5,000,000 donation from the Congressional Leadership Fund, as Arnold Schwarzenegger opposed and former President Barack Obama supported Prop 50 amid similar moves in Missouri and Ohio.
