Gov. Gavin Newsom says he’ll ask voters to decide on new districts in November as California seeks to challenge GOP-controlled states redrawing maps to favor Republicans in the midterms.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) announced Thursday plans to order a special election in November for voters to decide whether to approve new congressional maps to redistrict California House seats in favor of Democrats.

The governor has vigorously embraced the party’s push to counter a GOP-friendly Texas gerrymander by buoying Democrats in blue states.
