A federal court blocked a GOP-led redistricting proposal in Texas on Tuesday, ruling the new congressional map amounts to unconstitutional racial gerrymandering. But political and election experts say the decision has no impact on California’s voter-approved effort to redraw its own congressional lines.

A three-judge panel said Texas' congressional map is an illegal racial gerrymander. California's map faces a similar challenge.

Federal judges block Texas GOP redistricting plan, sparking Republican backlash over racial gerrymandering claims as case heads to Supreme Court.

In a rebuke to Trump and Texas Republicans, voters in the Golden State overwhelming approved redrawing their congressional map to favor Democrats.

California’s new congressional map favoring Democrats is unlikely to be hamstrung in the same way as Texas’ map, redrawn to benefit Republicans, was this week.

With Texas’ new map blocked by a federal court, California Democrats are emerging victorious — though the Supreme Court has yet to weigh in.
