California voters approved Proposition 50 and new congressional maps were released, prompting a federal lawsuit from state Republicans against the governor and secretary of state. Plaintiffs allege the district lines were drawn to favor Latino voters and cite statements from a consultant as evidence.

The consultant and mapmaker defended the lines, saying most voters remain in the same districts and blaming campaign missteps for Republican frustration. Legal experts say proving race was the predominant factor faces a high burden and timing is a hurdle.
