Fox News: STEVE HILTON: Why I'm launching a legal war against California Democrats' unconstitutional power grab
California Democrats, led by Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta, are planning to redraw congressional maps before the next census, which critics argue is an unconstitutional power grab aimed at solidifying one-party rule. The last redistricting cycle was marred by partisan manipulation, resulting in Republicans receiving a disproportionate share of congressional seats relative to their vote share.
Opponents assert that this mid-decade redistricting violates both state and federal laws, as it circumvents the requirement for a new census count. Legal challenges are anticipated to halt these efforts, with calls for reforms to ensure fair, nonpartisan redistricting practices in the future.
