California Legislature Passes Bill to Counter Texas Redistricting Effort in Congressional Districts

California's Democratic-led legislature has approved a redistricting plan in response to Texas' attempt to manipulate its congressional map. The Election Rigging Response Act aims to redraw California's congressional districts to prevent similar interference. If signed into law, the bill will require independent commission-drawn maps and prohibit partisan gerrymandering. The move is seen as a proactive measure to counter Texas' effort.
