A three-judge panel on a federal district court on Jan. 14 rejected a Republican bid to overturn California’s redistricted maps, upholding the results of the Proposition 50 referendum.

In a 2–1 decision, the panel in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California ruled that California’s altered maps were lawful, ruling that Republicans’ claims of racial gerrymandering motives in the redistricting did not align with the facts.
