The Trump administration, alongside the Justice Department, has initiated a series of lawsuits against California regarding its new congressional redistricting maps, created to enhance Democratic representation. The legal challenges focus on a recently approved voter initiative, Proposition 50, asserting that the redrawn districts could jeopardize House control by favoring Democratic candidates. The administration argues that the new maps amount to racial gerrymandering and seeks to block their implementation. This legal battle is part of a broader conflict over electoral maps and could significantly impact the political landscape in upcoming elections.
