California’s legislature on Thursday approved a series of measures to redraw the state’s congressional districts to favor Democrats in the next midterm elections, an action promised by Gov. Gavin Newsom to counter Texas’ attempt to give Republicans more US House seats. Once Newsom signs it, scheduled for later in the day, the legislation will put a proposed constitutional amendment before voters in November, the Los Angeles Times reports. “What do we do? Just sit back and do nothing?” state Senate Majority Leader Lena Gonzalez said during debate.
