Democracy Docket @democracydocket.com

NEW: California lawmakers introduce legislation giving voters the chance to decide if the state’s congressional map should be redrawn to counter Texas’ redistricting. The measure would allow voters to weigh in on a new proposed map, which could add five new Democratic seats.

They have enacted a law against what Texas is doing. The CA law does give the legislature and governor the option to put changes up for a vote. There are no such laws in Texas. It’s good that CA is putting this to a vote. It cuts against claims that CA is like TX. It’s not.

Changing California's map to merely counter the five-seat attack on Democracy in Texas, is a huge mistake. Democrats everywhere should be pulling out ALL the stops and playing to win, not to maintain the current status quo. They can worry about fairness after we excise the cancer that is the GOP.

What I read today is this is still a fair enough map to keep the VRA in tact at a federal level. It neuters Texas’ move without giving a green light to every single GOP held state.

Imagine if every single Democrat had done what Gavin Newsom and Zohran Mamdani are doing starting on Election Day. The reason we exist is because they didn’t, but hopefully, they get inspired to wake up and do it now. It’s never too late to grow a spine.

So if CA voters reject this measure, TX gives GOP extra House seats and Dems get zippo.

What is wrong with the 67% of the people in California, who appear at this point according to News reports, do not support Newsom’s redistributing effort. If I’m wrong, please let me know.

There we go. This whole retaliation was sitting wrong with me because it was completely top down and no better than what they're doing in TX. This shows commitment to actual voters.

We cannot out organize a 1-sided, legally rigged system. This isn't the time to risk losses which this election does. We need find ways to re-district like R's do (b/c there's always a loophole for each state) and go scorched-earth on MAGA. We can go back to normalcy after fascism is dead.
