"I firmly believe that politicians shouldn't pick their lines, that the citizens should ... pick their representatives." - Sen. Tony Strickland.

California Republicans announced a legal challenge Monday against Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) effort to redraw congressional lines in the state, days after the state Legislature approved a redistricting ballot measure to go before voters this fall.
