Hours after California Gov. Gavin Newsom's Election Rigging Act passed (and while they're still counting ballots) the California Republican Party and 19 individual plaintiffs filed suit against Newsom and Secretary of State Shirley Weber to invalidate the Proposition 50 maps, claiming that they violate the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution because they were drawn "based on race, specifically to favor Hispanic voters, without cause or evidence to justify it."

Use their own laws against them, but long way to go yet.

Glad to see CA’s GOP, while at Death’s Door, still has a pulse.

“ , without cause or evidence to justify it.”
So if newsome’s buddies state the cause (they want to win more elections) or evidence (they are entitled because orange man bad and messing up their agenda) will that make it ok to proceed with new maps?

[SmokingJoe]

No.

Hispanicis NOT a race.

I expected this, but not so soon. I thought better timing would be to gum up the midterm election. Maybe this is the best timing.

True. But, it's used as a race for political purposes, and has worked for democrats.
