California Republican party asks state supreme court to block voter-approved redistricting maps

In an emergency filing, party asked for an injunction for new maps aimed at countering Texas’ gerrymander

The California Republican party has asked the state supreme court to block a redistricting measure voters approved in November that would flip up to five House seats in Democrats’ favor.

In an emergency filing, the party asked Justice Elena Kagan, who is assigned to the ninth circuit, to issue an injunction before 9 February, the beginning of California’s candidate filing period for the June 2026 primaries.
