A bill is proposed to address partisan redistricting conflicts, but its chances of passing are low. Representative Don Bacon may support the bill but remains skeptical. Texas Republicans plan to gain House seats through strategic redistricting while Democrats aim to counteract this with their own plans. Governor Newsom of California has promised to react if Texas' map is approved, but legal changes are required. Kiley criticizes Newsom, asserting Congress can safeguard California voters under the Elections Clause of the Constitution.
Kiley stated that Congress can protect California voters under the Elections Clause of the U.S. Constitution, addressing potential threats from redistricting efforts.
Texas Republicans aim to secure five additional House seats by concentrating Democratic voters into fewer districts, while spreading their own voters across a wider range of seats.
Governor Newsom has pledged to respond if Texas' redistricting plan is enacted, but California's state constitution requires amendment to proceed with such a plan.
Bacon expressed discomfort with both parties' redistricting approaches and mentioned his willingness to consider supporting legislation aimed at curtailing partisan practices.
