Redistricting row: California top court rejects GOP plea for hold; cost, corruption claims surface

California's Supreme Court rejected a Republican petition to halt legislative action on redistricting maps, potentially leading to a November vote. Republicans, including Senators Strickland and Valladares, vowed to challenge what they call an "unconstitutional power grab." The "Election Rigging Response Act" faces debate amid cost concerns and allegations of partisan bias, prompting a call for a federal investigation by Republicans.
