Supreme Court allows California voting map that benefits Democrats

February 4, 2026

Gov. Gavin Newsom

By KAREN VELIE

The U.S. Supreme Court paved the way on Wednesday for California to use a new voting map that benefits Democrats, a party in line to gain up to five congressional seats this year. The order was unsigned and did not give a reason for the court’s decision.

Californians approved a referendum last year as a needed response to Republican promoted “gerrymandering” in conservative states. The referendum allowed Democrats to replace congressional lines drawn by the state’s independent commission with new ones in an attempt to switch five Republican seats to Democratic.

The California Republican Party and state party officials sued to block the redrawn map’s use. A three-judge panel in California then voted 2-1 against the Republican’s attempt to block the new map.

The U.S. Supreme Court does not generally get involved in cases dealing with partisan gerrymandered maps.

I love the idea of voter id cards. Non-citizens should never be allowed to own property or vote for anything. Native Americans have their own laws and benefits as they are above citizens. Good luck to the Chinese immigrant who tries to buy land to build a Chinese Casino. It won’t happen for a good reason; the same reason they should not have a vote until they are a US Citizen.

Once voter verification is put into place, whatever damage done by Prop. 50 will be moot. The Democratic Party’s use of illegals has run its course. The jig is up. America cannot be sending representatives to DC elected by foreign interlopers.

According to the conservative Heritage Foundation (the group that wrote Project 2025), a study of voting from 1999-2023 uncovered only 77 cases of non-citizens voting out of 23.5 million votes across 42 jurisdictions. Likewise, the conservative Cato Institute said in a recent study, “According to many sources of evidence, the number of non-citizens who vote in elections is very small.”

Do us all a favor Adam Trask. Go to http://www.justhenews.com and read the work of John Solomon. It goes much deeper than a handful of illegals on voter rolls. Printed ballots, fake driver’s licences. The fraud is deep and it’s foreign. Not fake ‘Russian Collusion’ but much, much more clever and deceptive.

According to Google, “Journalist John Solomon has repeatedly made or promoted unsubstantiated claims and conspiracy theories regarding widespread voter fraud, particularly concerning the 2020 U.S. election. These narratives have been widely debunked by government officials, courts, independent fact-checkers, and media organizations.”


I generally dismiss folks like this. He has zero substantial evidence backing up his claims. It used to be we could depend on the facts, but in the era of Trump too many Americans want to believe lies because it fits into their political narratuve.

This was voted on with a ballot measure. Remember, you wanted this.

Domion Voting

“Changing the way you vote”

Do you mean Dominion? The same company who won nearly 800 million dollars for spreading the same bullshit you believe?

Maybe you were casting your votes at Dominos pizza?

I also recall CA voters once voted to affirm that marraige was between one man and one women, of course back then many didn’t have a problem defining what a woman was.

Did not worry maga folks. The dotard will try other underhanded ways to subvert the midterms.

In the fallout after the 2020, 2022 elections, anybody who questioned election integrity was dismissed, silenced, censored, and had their character attacked. Some lost their jobs, careers, and even sued or jailed for simply speaking up.

Are election results up for debate again? Just checking….

Really? Prove it with verifiable facts. Trump thanks you for being gullible.

Let the non representation cases begin…. No taxation without representation… sound familiar?…

And good luck to them in trying, I sincerely hope they succeed in having partisan gerrymandering ruled unconstitutional. Unfortunately the Supreme Court ruled in 2019, in a case called Rucho v. Common Cause, that federal courts have no authority to resolve disputes over partisan gerrymanders.

Texas did the exact same thing to gain 5 seats. Are you okay with what Texas did? California was just neutralizing Texas. I’m fine if they throw them both out, or leave them both in. What’s the difference if they are just cancelling each other out like offsetting penalties in football.

and states like Massachusetts and Illinois did before Texas, but I’d be all for eliminating gerrymandering for all states not just the ones you don’t like.

Look at the percentages of the D/R population in each blue state and compare that to the amount of D vs R reps in congress.

California has 45% D and 25% R, 7% other and 23% independent. In congress, it’s currently 43 D to 8 R.

I’m glad they are fixing this wild discrepancy, this is so unfair.

What Texas democrats did, violated the state Constitution. Which is why the court ordered the districts to return to their original lines.

When you are already deep in the hole what’s the big deal if you dig a little deeper?
