Newsom Wants to Copy Illinois: Scrap ‘Independent’ Redistricting, Gerrymander Districts

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) wants to scrap California’s nominally independent redistricting process in favor of a partisan gerrymander for Congress, following in the footsteps of Illinois Gov. J.B. Prizker (D).

Newsom has attacked Texas for its effort to redraw congressional several districts — though it is doing so at the urging of the U.S. Department of Justice, which says that current districts are unconstitutional.

Anticipating that the new Texas district map could add congressional seats for Republicans, Newsom has proposed retaliating by redrawing California’s map to eliminate the few Republicans left representing the state.

His reversal on independent redistricting recalls Gov. Pritzker’s broken promises, after the Illinois governor violated a pledge to seek independent redistricting, and gerrymandered districts to favor Democrats instead.

(Pritzker is also talking about retaliating against Texas by redistricting again to favor Democrats in Illinois.)

The effort is part of Newsom’s attempt to act as the Democratic Party standard-bearer, with an eye on the presidential election in 2028. But his proposal is being criticized by state legislators from his own party:
