Newsom Calls Special Election Over Redistricting Plans

Democratic narrative

This is a vital defense against Trump's authoritarian effort to manipulate elections through mid-decade gerrymandering in Texas. Unlike the GOP's secretive power grab that threatens to disenfranchise communities of color and Democratic voters in several states, this transparent process empowers voters directly through a special election. It protects fair representation and upholds democratic principles by ensuring electoral maps reflect the will of the people — not the interests of a party trying to cling to power through undemocratic means.
