California Redistricting Plan Upheld; Democrats See Potential Gain

A federal court has upheld California's newly approved redistricting plan, a decision favored by Democrats seeking to offset Republican-led redistricting efforts nationwide. The ruling rejected claims from the California Republican Party and the Department of Justice that the map was racially gerrymandered to favor Latino voters, with the court stating that Proposition 50 was a political gerrymander approved by voters. While the majority opinion acknowledged the plan's potential to shift Republican-held seats to Democrats, it found no evidence of racial motivation in the voter-approved measure.
