Governor Gavin Newsom is considering holding a special election in the first week of November to ask California voters to approve the amended congressional representatives’ districts, which could influence their votes in the 2026 intermediate elections.
Although no new proposals have been made, Newsom informed the judges that he is working with the legislature and congressional representatives on a plan that would temporarily suspend the commission responsible for redistributing California’s independent districts and provide a map directly to the public for approval.
“We will approach the people of this state in an open manner and ask them to take into account the new circumstances and these new realities,” Newsom told the reporters during a visit to an airport in the state of Sacramento, where he displayed the new state firefighting squad.
This does not involve escondidas. There are no members of any private group or organization. Presenting it to the voters in a clear and understandable manner will allow them to understand exactly what is happening and be able to return to the original shape in 2030 with our independent distribution intact.
It was the biggest disclosure the governor has made publicly up until the point at which he intends to address the ongoing war on party distribution that President Donald Trump has been waging in recent months.
To ensure that the districts were about equal in population, the states redistributed their scarce resources for the first time in Congress after the 2020 election. It was not anticipated that they would agree to carry out the process at another term.
However, Republicans are under Trump’s increasing pressure to help them build a larger Republican majority in Congress before potentially difficult intermediate elections. Texas lawmakers are apprehensive about adopting a new Congress map that eliminates five esca os dem cratas. This has prompted similar efforts in other Republican-controlled states and the concern of the dem cratas about c mo contrarrestarlo.
Newsom: California debe intervenir
According to Newsom, California should halt the redistribution of previously supportive independent districts in order to fight a president who wants to manipulate the game against the Democrats, who could potentially obstruct Trump’s agenda if they take over the CMA in 2026.
As a result, Newsom stated that Trump’s presidency ends in November of next year, giving the American people a fair chance, a voice, and an opportunity.
While the majority of the states give their legislatures the power to redistribute districts, California still has a bipartisan citizen commission established by the voters through a legislative initiative. Therefore, Newsom must call special state elections and agree to consult with voters in order to hijack the commission and implement his policies with a tendency toward corruption.
Demcrats currently have 43 of the 52 seats in the state’s C house of representatives, including some competitive districts that were previously under Republican control in November.
Since many communities already have municipal elections scheduled for that date, the governor confirms that he would want to hold the elections on the first of November. Although Newsom also affirms that there has been too much in the game to worry about the cost, this might help them organize with less anticipation and help them cut a cost estimated at more than $200 million.
What is the cost of the confrontation between Trump and the Guardia Nacional?, asking, referring to the recent depletion of miles of troops by the president in Los Angeles to end the protests related to immigration. How many millions of lares were desperdiciated?
The date of November 1st gives California a very flexible time frame to act. According to state law, electoral offices must send a ballot to each voter who registered at least one month prior to election day; ballots for military personnel and foreign residents, as well as voter information packets, must be sent at least 15 days in advance. To meet these deadlines, the material usually needs to be listed by the end of September.
Concurrently, the Legislatura is in recess until August 18. It is anticipated that the National Assembly and the State Assembly will begin private discussions next week over the advancement of an electoral measure that would require at least two tercios in both chambers in order to potentially approve it before the end of August.
Mike McGuire, the crata de Healdsburg and the current president of the Senado, did not immediately respond to a request for comments. Robert Rivas, the Asamblea’s president and delegate from Salinas, affirms that the Assembly will review its options to oppose Trump’s intention to redistribute districts and ensure that our government remains fair, open, and representative of the people.
“This measure is an attempt to silence voters who oppose MAGA extremism, including here in California, where the public has expressed itself clearly and strongly in two national elections,” Rivas said in a statement.
