California Democrats are taking a series of votes in a bid to pass a mid-decade redistricting plan, a day after Republicans in the Texas House passed new maps of their own. In California, the state Assembly and Senate are taking up a trio of bills that will allow for a special election to pass a constitutional amendment to replace the state’s existing congressional maps through 2030.

The vote overcame weeks of protests from House Democrats who fled the state to stall a vote on the mid-cycle redistricting.

The Republican-controlled Texas House of Representatives passed Wednesday a redrawn congressional map that creates up to five new winnable GOP seats in Congress, further deepening a national redistricting battle between states.
