A three-judge federal panel on Wednesday upheld California’s new redistricting maps approved by Proposition 50, rejecting arguments from Republicans and the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) that the policy racially gerrymandered in favor of Hispanics.
After weeks of waiting for the federal panel’s decision on the major case, the judges released a 117-page file revealing in a 2-1 vote that they denied the plaintiffs’ arguments that the maps were drawn to favor Hispanics in certain districts. The week-long hearing began on Dec. 15, 2025, with multiple witnesses brought forward by Republicans and the DOJ as well as the defendants which include Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and others involved in crafting the state’s new congressional redistricting maps.
