California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Aug. 21 signed a legislative package to put a measure on the Nov. 4 ballot that would redraw the state’s congressional map to favor Democrats, in response to Texas redistricting efforts.
The tally in the lower state Assembly was 57–20. The measure passed the state Senate in a 30–8 vote, and was signed into law by Newsom about 30 minutes after the legislature approved it.
