The California Supreme Court rejected the republicans’s request to intervene and delay the redistribution legislation of democrats districtswhich is expected to approve the legislature on Thursday.
Four state republican legislators, Senator Tony Strickland, senator Suzette Martínez Valladares, the assemblyman Tri Ta and the assemblyman Kate Sánchez, They went to the State Superior Court seeking to effectively block the initiative.
It should be remembered that Governor Gavin Newsom summoned elections on November 4 for citizens to approve or reject the redistribution of votes That he hopes to give five more seats to the Democrats in the Chamber, in response to the new set of electoral maps that favor the Republican Party in Texas.
The map was approved on Wednesday after an impulse of President Donald Trump so that the states controlled by the Republicans redraw their legislative maps to give his party a better opportunity to maintain control of the United States Representatives Chamber in the mid -period elections.
The petition sought to prevent Democrats from moving until September 18, far beyond the deadline that, according to state officials, would be necessary to prepare for the November 4 elections. The lawyers of the legislators recognized in judicial documents that it was a matter of first impression, but affirmed that allowing the strategy of the Democrats would be “comically absurd.”
In a joint statement, legislators emphasized that the court did not explain their ruling and said that “it is not the end of this fight.”
“This means that the Plan of Governor Newsom and the Democrats to dismantle the Citizen Commission for Redistribution of Districts created by the voterssilence public opinion and leave taxpayers with an invoice of more than 200 million dollars will continue, ”reads the statement.
