Gov. Newsom is calling a Nov. 4 vote on new maps that could flip GOP seats and boost Democrats to 48 of California’s 52 congressional districts.

Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled his plan to redraw the state’s congressional maps in response to a Republican-led effort in Texas Thursday, setting up a standoff against a coalition of opponents.

California Gov. Newsom moves forward with putting proposed congressional maps on the ballot in Nov. 4 special election in attempt to counter GOP redistricting in Texas.
