A federal judge<\/a> criticized the process by which California’s voter-approved congressional map to redraw districts to favor Democrats in a dissenting opinion, saying the state engaged in “racial gerrymandering.”<\/p>\n

Judge Kenneth Lee noted his concerns about race being a factor in his dissent as a panel of judges voted 2-1 to uphold the map.<\/p>\n

“California sullied its hands with this sordid business when it engaged in racial gerrymandering as part of its mid-decade congressional redistricting plan to add five more Democratic House seats,” Lee wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We know race likely played a predominant role in drawing at least one district because the smoking gun is in the hands of Paul Mitchell, the mapmaker who drew the congressional redistricting map adopted by the California state legislature,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The court rejected a claim by Republicans that the map approved as part of Proposition 50 violated the Voting Rights Act by drawing maps to favor Hispanic and Latino voters.<\/p>\n

The decision allows California<\/a> to use the map, which could give Democrats more House seats. The California Republican Party said it will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to issue an emergency injunction.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The well-reasoned dissenting opinion better reflects our interpretation of the law and the facts, which we will reassert to the Supreme Court,” California GOP Chairwoman Corrin Rankin said in a statement. “The map drawer\u2019s plain statements acknowledging that he racially gerrymandered the Proposition 50 maps, which he and the legislature refused to explain or deny, in addition to our experts\u2019 testimony, established that the courts should stop the implementation of the Prop 50 map. We look forward to continuing this fight in the courts.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

REPUBLICANS PUSH BACK OVER ‘FALSE ACCUSATIONS OF RACISM’ IN BLOCKBUSTER REDISTRICTING FIGHT<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Lee noted that mapmaker Paul Mitchell refused to appear before the panel, but had allegedly publicly boasted to his political allies that he drew the map to “ensure that the Latino districts.”<\/p>\n

“In embarking on a mid-decade redistricting plan to create more Democratic-friendly districts, California relied on race to create at least one Latino-majority congressional district,” he wrote. “To be clear, as the majority explains, California began its mid-cycle redistricting attempt after Texas initiated its own redistricting in favor of Republicans. But that larger partisan goal does not negate that California\u2019s Democratic state legislature sought to maintain and expand a racial spoils system.”<\/p>\n

Prop 50<\/a> was the result of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democratic leaders asking voters whether the state should redraw congressional lines by targeting five Republican strongholds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The move was a countermeasure to Texas’ efforts to send more Republicans to the House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Republicans\u2019 weak attempt to silence voters failed,” Newsom said in a statement. “California voters overwhelmingly supported Prop 50 \u2013 to respond to Trump\u2019s rigging in Texas \u2013 and that is exactly what this court concluded.”<\/p>\n

House maps<\/u><\/a> are typically redrawn every 10 years following the census, and the process rarely takes place mid-decade.<\/p>\n
