💨 Abstract

California Democrats are accelerating plans for an emergency election to redraw U.S. House districts, aiming to reduce Republican seats. County officials are scrambling to prepare, despite potential costs and logistical challenges. The push is a response to Texas Republicans' similar actions. Governor Gavin Newsom and officials are considering new maps that could bolster Democratic seats and leave Republicans with four out of 52 House seats in California.
