GOP members in the state of California have initiated a federal lawsuit on Wednesday, contesting a significant redistricting measure that could flip up to five House seats for Democrats.

This initiative, Proposition 50, received approval by the electorate Tuesday night, marking a clear win for Democrats.

The plan is a direct response to partisan redistricting in the state of Texas, where GOP lawmakers, following the US president's direction, have carved out several new districts favoring Republicans.
