California Supreme Court Rejects GOP Redistricting Challenges Amid Political Tensions

The California Supreme Court rejected a Republican challenge to a proposed redistricting measure, clearing the way for it to appear on the November ballot. The measure, part of California's response to gerrymandering concerns, was challenged by GOP plaintiffs arguing that the independent commission should control redistricting, but the court dismissed the lawsuit. This decision follows other legal setbacks for Republican efforts to block the measure, including a rejection of a similar petition last week.
