California announces special redistricting election in direct response to Texas GOP plan

As the controversy surrounding the efforts of the re -division of circles in Texas continues, the governor of California State Gavin New Zoom and former House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi announced on Friday that Golden State will move forward for a plan for special elections in early November to develop a plan to divide their districts in voting before the voters.

Newsom said this step was like a Texas and was being done in a transparent way, but it is also possible that Democrats would see five seats if the procedure is adopted. The plan will allow the Democrats to transcend the temporary committee to re -divide the independent departments in the state and adopt a new map of congress before the 2026 elections.

“We are talking about emergency measures to respond to what is happening in Texas, and we will cancel what is happening in Texas,” New Nooring told a press conference on Friday surrounded by many legislators in California and some Democrats in Texas who fled their mandate.

“We will pick up five seats with the consent of people. This is the difference between the approach we take and the approach they take,” Newsom. “We are doing it on a temporary basis. We are doing it in a completely transparent way and we do this by asking the people of California about their consent and support.”

California will be the first democratic -led country that begins with the activity of passing the new boycott lines before 2026 of the middle of the period in response to Texas to re -divide the circles.

New Roiri said that the Democrats have until August 22 to obtain this procedure in polling and are born against President Donald Trump and Texas Greg Abbott to justify this step.

“Greg Abbott, who does not have the courage, the spine, does not have a conscience of the consequences of his actions … is now contact with new seats,” said New Ten, in reference to the Texas Governor, who has a conscience of the consequences of his actions …

“[Trump’s] Failure agenda. His presidency failed. He knows the opposite wind in the middle of the period. He is connected to the seats now. “

Republicans in Texas, encouraged by the Trump administration, are following a map in Congress aimed at adding up to five regions that tend to the Republican Party, which leads to a violent and combating reaction. The Democrats in Texas fled the state of Lun Star to the Democrats in Steungold to break the quorum and stop voting.

The Texas house requires the legal quorum of two -thirds of the members present to conduct official legislators for business and state that they are planning to be absent from the state until the end of August, when the special session ends.

Democrats in Texas argue that the plan to re -divide the circles in its mandate is unconstitutional and partisan.

Pelosi defended the withdrawal of Texas, describing it as “self -defense of our democracy.”

She said that the Democrats will not allow Trump to “pave the” paving “free and fair elections in the country.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dustin Buroz, signed the arrest orders of the absent Democrats on Monday, following the approval of the House of Representatives for these notes, and the ruler of Abbott called on the Public Safety Department in Texas to arrest the “delayed democrats in Texas.” Detention orders are largely seen as symbolic because they only apply to those in the state lines.

Robert Rivas, president of the California State Association, a democratic, said the maps will be available for the presentation next week.

“Once these maps are issued, the voters will have the opportunity to digest these maps, and review them for weeks and months leading to these elections,” he said.
