State legislators are scheduled to hold floor votes on Thursday, according to a schedule from Democratic leadership.

“Thousands of Californians have spoken, and their message is simple: Stop rigging, gerrymandering and disenfranchising,” Bianco, the Riverside County sheriff, said. “Voters deserve to choose their leaders — not the other way around.”

Republican legislators filed an emergency petition with the California Supreme Court, arguing Democrats are blatantly violating the state Constitution by rushing bills through the Legislature that would create new voting districts.
