Redistricting California
I have urged Gov. Newsom in the strongest terms to put a redistricting initiative on the next available State ballot. My understanding from the news is that it’s not possible to do this in California (the way it is in Texas) without the voters’ express approval. However, based on my research, this is not so much a matter of law so much as of custom.
