A group of California Republicans is judging the state to block the legislature controlled by Democrats to consider bills that would allow the government. Gavin Newsom To facilitate special elections of Gerimander Congress CardsS

Legal actions can delay the process by which the election employees, Already tightlyTake the cards on Californians’ newsletters for the special election on November 4th. But it depends on how quickly the California Supreme Court moves and whether it stops the process as it is considering the case.

Newsom needs voter approval For cards, because California has an independent redistribution committee that attracts electoral cards after every census. He is in a hurry to get the ballot measure as a response to Republican efforts for Gerimander In Texas, which are intended to sow in the 2026 congress elections in GOP – and President Donald Trump – Service.

Republicans claim that democratic leaders have violated the State Constitution, bypassing a rule stating that with little exceptions legislation should be publicly available for 30 days before legislators vote for it.

In order to obtain the ballot cards, Democrats rearranged two existing bills and not to introduce a new legislation that would cause a 30-day window.

Senator Tony StrientlandHuntington Beach Republican and the leading legislator on the case has stabbed Newsom and Democrats to create a “rear -room deal” with “no public contribution, without transparency, without light of the day”

“If they do it right, they would have public hearing, a public notice, they will receive the authority from the people of California and then they will download the cards,” Strigland said.

The accounts in question, Assembly Bill 604 and Senate Bill 280were first entered and gave account numbers in early February. The new language of the redistribution effort was published early on Monday morning.

Chris Micheli, a longtime lobbyist, said that the MPs “have watched the initial date of the introduction of the bill in the beginning of January near the beginning of the start of the date, which starts the 30-day clock. For the gut and the legislature mentioned, it follows a different rule, added to the State Constitution by voters in 2016: The language must be published for 72 hours before lawmakers can vote.

“To be fair, it is unverified and there is no judgment on this issue,” Micheli said of the Republican lawsuit. But “I don’t think it will succeed.”

Legislators often use bowel and art tactics to comply with deadlines and introduce new legislation at the end of the season. Rarely, if at all, the opposition party calls on the Supreme Court of California to mediate an otherwise excruciating game of an internal legislative baseball.

However, with the redistribution of the impetus, Republican legislators double with regard to their defense of the State Commission for the Redistribution of Citizens, established in 2010 on a bilateral basis to prevent the self -service of politicians.

“The public cannot have a voice if they do not know what is happening,” said the Assembly Carl Demeyo of San Diego, who is not a party to the case. “What the governor Newsom and the legislators are trying to do is prevent the public from knowing what is happening before it’s too late.”
