California Democrats are making moves to put a ballot measure pushing pro-Democratic maps before voters this fall. Other Republican-controlled states are looking at redraws, too.

Former President Barack Obama has waded into states’ efforts at rare mid-decade redistricting efforts, saying he agrees with California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s response to alter his state’s congressional maps, in the way of Texas redistricting efforts promoted by President Donald Trump aimed at shoring up Republicans’ position in next year’s elections.

Texas Republicans pass redistricting map creating 5 new GOP-leaning congressional seats despite Democratic objections about minority voting power dilution.

In a huge win for President Donald Trump, Texas lawmakers approved a congressional map that adds five new Republican districts. And California Governor Gavin Newsom responded by pushing legislation to allow his state to offset the added seats.
