California Supreme Court rejects latest GOP effort to halt redistricting plan
The California Supreme Court rejected a petition Wednesday filed by state Republican legislators seeking to keep Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) plan to redistrict California’s congressional map off a special election ballot this fall.
A brief update in the docket announced the petition for a writ of mandate and a request for stay were denied just days after Republican legislators filed their second challenge against the redistricting plan. The case is now listed as closed.
“48 hours later, this case has already been rejected. Keep em coming, @GOP. We’ll keep winning,” Newsom said in a post on social platform X.
The petition, citing constitutional issues, had asked the state Supreme Court to intervene and keep Proposition 50 off the Nov. 4 ballot.
