California Republicans appeal to Supreme Court to block congressional maps

The California Republican Party is aiming to get the U.S. Supreme Court to block the Golden State from using a new congressional map. “If left uncorrected, this pernicious and unconstitutional use of race will irreparably harm Applicants and the public.

Applicants therefore respectfully request an injunction pending appeal precluding California from conducting any congressional election under the map enacted through Proposition 50 (‘Proposition 50 Map’) and requiring it to use the prior map adopted in 2021 by the independent Citizens Redistricting Commission,” the emergency application declares. In November, California voters approved Proposition 50 to temporarily adopt the new congressional map. FEDERAL COURT CLEARS CALIFORNIA’S NEW HOUSE MAP BOOSTING DEMOCRATS AHEAD OF 2026 MIDTERMS Thos
