Sacramento, California (KGO) – The governor of the state, Gavin Newose, is multiplied by his threat to reform the process of re -dividing the independent circles of the state, and the escalation of a political confrontation with the Republicans of Texas, which has become a flash point in the struggle to control Congress.
This week, the Texas Legislative Council began a special session where the circles are redistricted on the table, where Republicans re -evaluate their Congress maps to help the Republican Party to keep the majority of its slim house after mid -period 2026.
After Friday’s meeting with legislators in Texas at the Ruler’s Palace in Sacramento, New Zoom told the correspondents that the situation is “a fire for the five democracy in the United States.”
“We are committed to this process. This is not a trick,” he said. “Everything is at stake if we do not succeed next year and restore the House of Representatives.”
Last week, President Donald Trump has publicly called on Texas to redraw their maps, although the state borders were already updated in 2021 after the USA -2020 census.
In response, Newsom began to float on the idea that California could abandon the independent circles re -divide the committee. Voters in California signed for the first time on this operation through the 2008 proposal that amended the state constitution to abandon control of legislators in the electoral maps.
“We want to play the game on the conditions in which everyone plays the same set of rules. This is no longer the case,” the ruler said.
Since then, the idea has sparked a mixture of conspiracies and intellectual response in Sacramento. While some Democrats have expressed a calm openness, others say on both sides of the corridor that the re -division of weapons will erode democratic standards.

“We are winning the elections through the war of ideas, not by addressing the lines,” said the association member Heath Flura, R-R-Ribon. “We must make fair and open elections, and I do not think this is a party issue.”
Flura – the newly elected Republican leader at the association – said he did not hear much of his passion for his colleagues on both sides of the corridor about this provocative proposal.
“I don’t think there is a huge appetite. I think if the polling is obtained, everyone will cost a lot of money,” he said. And why? Because we want to be reactionary to something Texas do? I don’t think it is smart. I don’t think Texas should do that either. “
Newsom consider the voting measurement to change California maps
Newsom confirmed this week that it is actively exploring four different legal or political methods to reaffirm legislators to re -divide the circles in California, including the restoration of the voters.
“The cleanest path is to be frank, asking the voters who did this primarily to look at the new circumstances,” he said.
The current operation in California is supervised by the 14 -member citizens ’committee, which has redrawed governmental and Congress every 10 years based on American census data. The committee consists of five Republicans, five Democrats and four who do not belong to either party.
In Texas, the re -division of circles is controlled by the legislative body, which is currently controlled by Republican birds. Trump’s batch to reconsider maps comes amid continuous legal challenges to the current borders of the country, which claims that the lines are distinguished against Latin and black voters.
Paul Mitchell, an expert on the re -division of Paul Mitchell, says that the establishment of five new areas of Globe Stargold in Texas will be difficult and may require targeting democracy seats and transferring large numbers of voters.
“The only way to do this is to find democratic Congress areas and push more Republicans to those areas,” Mitchell said. “After that with the next electoral cycle, Vola, the seat that seemed to be a kind of safe democratic seat is now a Republican Beck App.”
However, the Democrats in Texas are concerned that even modest changes can put the Republican Party control in ways to hesitate at the national level.
“It will cause great harm,” said Dallas. “Not only for the people we represent, but also all Americans.”
What happens after that most likely depends on whether the legislators in Texas continue to redraw the maps.
Newsom explained that if the Hardball party is playing, California can also – even if it means canceling the system Over the gathering of.
“We will not play with a different set of rules anymore,” said Newfish.
