Nov. 5 (UPI) -- California Republicans said Wednesday a federal lawsuit looms following passage of Proposition 50 and control over redistricting.
The California Republican Party announced its legal bid to overturn Prop 50 following Tuesday's mandate by voters. According to unofficial results, Proposition 50 received more than 64% of the vote to redraw the state's congressional map which ultimately would make five districts more Democratic-leaning.
It potentially neutralizes effects of a new map in Texas and other GOP-led efforts in multiple states at the behest of U.S. President Donald Trump to maintain Republican power ahead of the 2026 midterm election. It sparked similar efforts by Democrats in other states, most recently in Virginia, which elected Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat, its first female governor on Tuesday.
"The American people sent a clear message to Trump and Republicans: We. Will. Not. Yield," U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., posted Tuesday on X.
