WASHINGTON\u00a0\u2014\u00a0<\/span>When the U.S. Supreme Court sharply curtailed a key provision of the Voting Rights Act last week, Democrats in Washington had a message: The rules of redistricting have changed, and California \u2014 the nation\u2019s biggest blue bastion \u2014 may have a further role to play.<\/p>\n

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Democrats should \u201cplay by the same set of rules\u201d as Republicans. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) vowed to fight in \u201cthe Deep South and all over the country.\u201d And Rep. Terri Sewell, an Alabama Democrat, was blunt: \u201cI\u2019ll take 52 seats from California, I sure would. And 17 seats from Illinois.\u201d<\/p>\n

The calls for action came as Republican governors in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississipppi and Tennessee called special legislative sessions to redraw congressional maps ahead of this year\u2019s midterm elections. Florida has also approved new maps that could give the GOP four more seats in the House, and President Trump urged other Republican states to follow suit.<\/p>\n

The Republican response has intensified the pressure on Democrats to act, including those in California \u2014 where the ruling could upend not just congressional maps, but also legislative and local races.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t allow this national gerrymandering effort of Republicans to go unanswered,\u201d said Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Long Beach). \u201cIf Republicans go for it, I think we have to leave all options on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n

For now, California\u2019s response is far from settled.<\/p>\n

The chair of the California Democratic Party said there are no current plans to redraw maps \u2014 just months after voters approved a constitutional amendment authorizing a mid-decade redistricting backed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.<\/p>\n

The Democratic consultant who drew the state\u2019s current congressional district boundaries says an all-blue map, while possible to create, would probably hurt Democrats more than help them in the long run. And some of the state\u2019s congressional Democrats are worried the impulse to match Republican partisan efforts would be bad for the American electorate.<\/p>\n

\u201cRather than accelerating a race to the bottom, the next step is to dial it down because you can reach a point of no return,\u201d said Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Los Angeles), one of the state\u2019s most prominent Black lawmakers. \u201cAnd that\u2019s where we\u2019re headed.\u201d<\/p>\n

What California decides \u2014 and when \u2014 will matter at the national level. With 52 congressional seats, no state has more to offer Democrats in a redistricting war. But experts, lawmakers and party officials say the path forward is more complicated than the calls from Washington suggest.<\/p>\n

California could see 48 blue seats, out of 52<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s in part because California already acted. In 2025, voters approved Proposition 50, which drew new congressional district lines designed to favor Democrats for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections. The new maps, which could yield as many as 48 Democratic seats out of 52, are already in effect, and voters have begun receiving their mail-in ballots.<\/p>\n

Going farther is not currently on the table \u2014 at least not yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have yet to fully win the seats in the map that was drawn in 2025. It seems a step too far to say we\u2019re going to go back to the drawing board and redraw the map,\u201d said Rusty Hicks, the chair of the California Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

Hicks said it doesn\u2019t mean the issue could not become part of a future discussion, but he said Democrats in other states should not look past what California has already done.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to pick up 48 of them. How much more do you want us to pick up? You want us to make it 52 blue? Well, you all should get into the fight,\u201d Hicks said. \u201cYou all should pick up some seats. Let\u2019s all do this together, because California cannot do it alone, it will take the rest of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others are not convinced the most aggressive option makes the strategic sense in California.<\/p>\n

Paul Mitchell, the Democratic redistricting consultant who drew California\u2019s Proposition 50 congressional maps, said the push for a 52-0 delegation reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of how a partisan map would perform in the state over time.<\/p>\n

\u201cA 52-to-zero map would have the potential of backfiring,\u201d Mitchell said. \u201cIn 2026, we could pick up 52 seats. But then in 2028 or 2030 \u2014 a bad year for Democrats, let\u2019s say \u2014 Democrats lose 11 of those seats. You\u2019ve drawn these districts so demonically to a Democratic advantage in a good year that in a bad Democratic year, they don\u2019t have the ability to withstand the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ruling could jeopardize state\u2019s voting rights law<\/h2>\n

The political debate over congressional maps has so far dominated the conversation in Washington. But legal scholars and redistricting experts say the ruling could also have consequences in California\u2019s city hall, school board and county supervisor races.<\/p>\n

The justices\u2019 ruling, decided by the court\u2019s conservative majority, says states cannot consider race to create majority-minority electoral districts while allowing them take partisan interests into account.<\/p>\n

\u201cA purely partisan map is actually more defensible now than one drawn with racial considerations,\u201d said Rick Hasen, an election law professor at UCLA. \u201cIt turns the world on its head.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ruling now puts at risk any district drawn at any level of government that relied on the Voting Rights Act to justify its boundaries, Hasen said.<\/p>\n

And in California, that uncertainty extends to districts drawn under the state Voting Rights Act, which extends protections for minority voters beyond the federal law, he said. The state law was not directly at issue in the Supreme Court ruling, but Hasen argues the court\u2019s reasoning could provide new legal grounds to challenge the state law as potentially unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

Cities including Santa Monica and Palmdale have faced lawsuits alleging their at-large City Council elections diluted the Latino vote. Palmdale settled its case and agreed to switch to district-based elections; Santa Monica\u2019s case is ongoing. Hasen argued that the cities, as well as other bodies, such as school boards, could now return to court to challenge whether district maps drawn as a result of the California Voting Rights Act are unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat has not been tested yet,\u201d he said, but he fears the same arguments made to challenge the federal Voting Rights Act could be made against the state law.<\/p>\n

At the state level, Republican strategist Matt Rexroad sees the ruling affecting the California Legislature as well. He argues the boundaries drawn for the state Assembly and Senate districts are racial gerrymanders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose legislative lines, I would argue, are unconstitutional,\u201d Rexroad said. \u201cAnd those lines are probably going to change by 2028.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Rexroad\u2019s biggest concern goes beyond any single set of maps: It is the future of California\u2019s independent redistricting commission, the nonpartisan body he has spent years defending.<\/p>\n

A threat to independent redistricting<\/h2>\n

Rexroad sees a scenario in which the national political environment gives California Democrats little incentive to return the map-making power to the commission. If Republican states continue to aggressively redraw maps, Democrats will have another justification to keep power in the Legislature\u2019s hands, the same argument made to pass Proposition 50, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think the California redistricting commission has ever been in greater jeopardy than it is right now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

J. Morgan Kousser, a historian who has testified as an expert witness in voting rights cases for 47 years, said California\u2019s commitment to the commission may depend on how aggressive Republican states act in redistricting. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf we go back to an all-white South in Congress, California may not go back to a fairness standard,\u201d Kousser said. \u201cIt may not disarm. It may rearm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mitchell, the redistricting consultant, said that he hopes California and other states choose the path of disarmament and that there is a national push for independent commissions in every state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t good for anybody,\u201d he said. \u201cThis was all basically a nerd war over lines that didn\u2019t actually improve any districts anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
