As Texas hurtles toward a flashpoint on a GOP effort to redraw congressional districts, California Democrats are answering with a plan of their own.

Gavin Newsom formally kicked off his push Thursday to redraw California’s congressional maps in response to a Republican-led effort in Texas, setting up the next stage of his fight against both the Trump administration and a coalition of gerrymandering opponents within the state.

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.
