State Court of Appeals Rules Newly Redistricted Maps Unconstitutional
On Wednesday, the state’s highest court ruled that both the congressional and state Senate redistricted maps are unconstitutional, resulting in the appointment of Jonathan Cervas, a neutral “special master” to draw new district lines. As of now, a new primary election date in late-August will be scheduled for congressional and Senate districts. Statewide offices and State Assembly elections will still be held on June 28, however, that date could be combined with the late-August primary pending any additional court or legislative actions.
