U.S. Department of Justice Asks to Intervene in Federal Lawsuit Over California U.S. House District Boundaries

On November 13, the U.S. Department of Justice asked to intervene in the federal lawsuit over the new California U.S. House district boundaries. It seeks to intervene on the side of the Republican plaintiffs who are suing to block the new districts approved by the voters last week. Tangipa v Newsom, c.d., 2:25cv-10616. The Defendants do not oppose the motion. Also, on November 12, the court allowed the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to intervene on the side of the state of California.

The Republican plaintiffs argue that the new boundaries are a racial gerrymander, and point to statements made by proponents of the new districts that the reason for the new districts is to increase Hispanic representation. This seems an unconvincing argument. The evidence appears overwhelming that the true motivation for the new districts was to advance the partisan interests of the Democratic Party. It is a partisan gerrymander, not a racial gerrymander.
