A Texas congressman, Rep. Ronny Jackson, has filed a lawsuit against California Governor Gavin Newsom over a redistricting bill he signed in August. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, alleges that the Newsom-backed Election Rigging Response Act is unconstitutional and retaliatory, targeting Texas and its citizens. The case is part of an ongoing mid-decade redistricting showdown between Democrats and Republicans, with Jackson claiming the bill undermines congressional power dynamics and could benefit Democrats in future elections.
