(The Hill) — Governor Gavin Newsom of California (D) announced on Friday that they are advancing with plans to conduct a special election in November for voters to sanction a ballot initiative that would eventually permit Democrats to implement a new House map before 2026.

“We have until August 22. With the leadership you see here, they will ensure this gets on the ballot. We’re scheduling a special election for the first week of November,” Newsom stated.

The governor, accompanied by numerous California legislators and Texas Democrats who left their state, emphasized that they have no intention of dismantling the independent redistricting commission responsible for crafting the map.

“We are talking about emergency measures to respond to what’s happening in Texas, and we will nullify what happens in Texas,” Newsom vowed.

The move comes in response to Texas Republicans who are looking to create five pick-up opportunities in a new House map.
