California legislature passes congressional map bills in redistricting faceoff

From ABC News.

California’s state legislature on Thursday passed the bills that comprise the state’s plan to put new congressional bills on the ballot in a November special election, in retaliation for a congressional redistricting plan moving forward in Texas.

Voters will now be set to vote on new maps that could allow Democrats to flip five Republican-held seats, in a special election in November that is set to be costly and combative.
