Shaping Strategies by California Democrats Revealed
In California, a new redistricting plan is making headlines. Led by Governor Gavin Newsom and fellow Democrats, the proposed plan aims to redraw congressional district boundaries, potentially flipping five Republican-held seats to Democrats [1][2][4][5].
This move is a direct response to recent Republican-led redistricting in Texas designed to favor the GOP. The proposed plan temporarily adopts new congressional districts to be used through 2030 and includes a proposed constitutional amendment called The Election Rigging Response Act. This amendment would override the current independent Citizens Redistricting Commission's control over map drawing, allowing the Democratic-controlled legislature to redraw districts and place the proposal on the November 4 special election ballot for voter approval.
Under the proposal, California's Citizens Redistricting Commission would still be retained as state policy in general, but the legislature would gain power to establish new congressional maps if other states similarly engage in partisan redistricting. This effectively increases lawmakers' power to draw congressional district boundaries, bypassing the independent commission that normally oversees California’s redistricting process.
The legislative package includes a bill calling for a special election in November 2025 to approve the constitutional amendment, a bill establishing the new congressional map that could be triggered by the amendment, and a bill to reimburse costs for administering the election.
The California Supreme Court recently declined to halt the plan, allowing the Democratic legislature to proceed with voting and submitting it to Governor Newsom for approval and then to voters.
