Republicans in the state of California filed a federal lawsuit on Wednesday, contesting a high-stakes redistricting initiative that could shift as many as five congressional seats to the benefit of the Democratic party.

The plan is a direct response to gerrymandering in the state of Texas, where GOP lawmakers, at the US president’s behest, have created several new safe Republican districts.
