Case Summary

[This summary is temporary while we research the case.] 

This is a lawsuit, filed in Texas, to California’s proposed state constitutional initiative to allow a mid-decade legislative gerrymander, based on an allegation that the lines were drawn with stale data, and ostensible violations of the federal Constitution’s Elections and Guarantee Clauses.

On Oct. 31, 2025, the case was dismissed for lack of standing.
