Texas plans to gain five. They said if CA does this, TX will go for ten.

[Pocketdoor]

If all Republicans change to Democrat would that throw them off?

[SaveFerris]

Where’s Gavin Newsom doing
his Gay shoulder-rocking?

😃🤣😃

[blackdog]

Each state present census data and land mass demographics, and let AI churn out what would best represent congressional districts.

[llevrok]

Put a fence around the state and let them sink in their own sh^t

[FlingWingFlyer]

How can a fag, California greaseball take away Republican districts? I thought only Kenyans were allowed to redistrict other states.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

I live in Ca. this really doesn’t matter in Ca. last election the bastards STOLE 3 republicans seats from us after counting for weeks until the damn Dem won!! In Ca. gerrymandered or not makes not one damn bit of difference, the fraud is rampant here!! ALL mail in ballots NOW, so Ca. goes the way of OR. WA. CO. ALL one party rule AND NOTHING can be done about it!!!

[butlerweave]

California’s voters might wake-up and see the democrats are robbing them blind , someday ,maybe ,LOL

[nwrep]

The special election route is 100% legal. People here who were waiving the California Constitution did not understand it.

[butlerweave]

Newsom and his Kingdom of California is getting more like North Korea

[clee1]

And come 2030, Californication will lose 20 seats.

[PBRCat]

California used to have Republican elected officials. The Democrats have stolen the Golden State and rigged its elections.

[Chewbarkah]

Newsom has made it clear that his intent for redistricting is to dictate his desired political outcomes, disenfranchising millions of citizens. His gerrymandering ought to be very vulnerable to judicial challenges.

[Danie_2023]

Thus proving the lie the Democrats always spew about “saving our democracy”. Anyone with half a working brain cell should be able to suss out what the Democrats really ‘stand for’.

[arthurus]

With the rerun of the census eliminating aliens fro being counted for representation in Congress, California will lose a bunch of congressional seats so Newson redrawing districts(illegally according to Cali constitution) won’t matter.

[BereanBrain]

The D’s will lose far more than that if they cannot count illegals as population...Think of south CA. That’s at least 30%

[Texas Eagle]

My fellow Commiefornians are stupid enough to vote for it. They have no idea that more demonicRATS means more burned out cities that they can rebuild.

More homeless encampments that stretch for miles.

More drug addled zombies sleeping in the doorways of businesses.

More drag queens performing in front of kindergarteners.

More children trafficked into sex slavery.

More children working as slaves in the marijuana groves.

Higher gas taxes.

Crappier roads.

Morons.

There may be constitutional issues with Newsom's plans.

1. Newsom has a new map ready to go that was commissioned by California’s Democratic leadership for Paul Mitchell to develop. This map is currently unlawful because the state Constitution requires maps to be developed by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission.

2. It is unlawful to put both this new map AND the Constitutional amendment suspending the California Citizens Redistricting Commission on the same ballot. Newsom must first pass the Amendment suspending the California Citizens Redistricting Commission, and then hold another special election to vote on the new map once the group that creates it is authorized by law to do so.

   Courts would call this improperly “piggy-backing” on an unratified constitutional change if they were to appear together on the same ballot, because at the time of the special election, only maps created by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission are lawful.

3. There must be a period where the amendment can be challenged in court and survive that challenge before it can become in force. California's proposition 8 that added language about marriage between a man and a woman was ruled unconstitutional AFTER it was passed by voters. Newsom cannot rush this amendment change along with a new map and expect it to pass without judicial challenge.

4. The 2026 candidate calendar would make it practically impossible for Newsom to get a new redistricted map passed in time. The signature gathering process must occur between December 11, 2025 - February 4, 2026. The nomination filing period is from February 9 - March 6, 2026. Candidates must know their district boundaries before collecting signatures or filing nomination papers. Therefore, any replacement map must be certified and in effect by December 11, 2025, when candidate signature gathering begins.

5. Under California Elections Code, a statewide special election generally requires at least 88 days’ notice between calling the election and holding it. After the election, it takes several weeks to certify it. With the special election for the constitutional amendment occurring on November 4, the most practical date for a second special election would be February 17, 2026, which is well into the primary signature gathering and filing period. Adding the time it would take to certify the election, it would be too late for the new map to be in place for the 2026 mid-term elections.

The new districts could not legally be used for the June 2, 2026 primary.

Every time they overreach, it pushes the state one step closer to what happened nationally last November.

[Sicon]

Democrats:

”It’s not racism when we do it.”

”Its not tyranny/authoritarianism when we do it.”

”It’s not violent insurrection when we do it.”

”Gerrymandering is not a threat to democracy when we do it.”
