California legislators approved a bill to put a November 2025 ballot measure that would temporarily discard current U.S. House districts drawn by an independent commission. The proposal would allow the state's Democratic members of Congress to draw new maps aimed at flipping five Republican-held seats. Gov. Gavin Newsom was expected to sign the Election Rigging Response Act to fast-track the plan after Texas Republicans approved their own redistricting move. The shift is framed as a direct response to President Trump urging Texas to redraw lines to gain five seats ahead of the 2026 midterms.
The act would place a measure on the November 2025 ballot to temporarily throw out the state's districts for the U.S. House of Representatives, which are drawn by an independent commission balanced between Democrats, Republicans and others. Replacing those districts would be new maps drawn by the state's Democratic members of Congress to flip five seats currently held by Republican representatives.
A national battle over redistricting began this summer when President Donald Trump asked Texas Republicans to redraw district lines ahead of the 2026 midterms to give his party five more seats. Big WIN for the Great State of Texas!!! Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday. Everything Passed, on our way to FIVE more Congressional seats and saving your Rights, your Freedoms, and your Country, itself.
