California Gov. Newsom moves forward with putting proposed congressional maps on the ballot in Nov. 4 special election in attempt to counter GOP redistricting in Texas.

Gov. Gavin Newsom asked legislators to approve a Nov. 4 special election over the "Election Rigging Response Act," which would give voters a say on whether or not to temprarily change congressional maps.

Mississippi most likely will not engage in the redistricting battle because Republicans already have been helped about as much as possible in the Magnolia State. Here, there are three safe Republican U.S. House districts and one safe Democratic district.
