‘They fired the first shot’: Newsom signs bill to put redistricting to California’s voters

California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, signed legislation that will ask the state’s voters to decide in November if they approve of redrawn congressional districts that tilt heavily in favor of Democrats, as a way of neutralizing a similarly partisan map in Texas. ‘They fired the first shot, Texas’, Newsom said before signing the bill, noting that California’s new map would only be used if Texas uses new maps tilted in favor of Republicans
