California state lawmakers are taking a series of votes in a bid to pass a mid-decade redistricting plan, a move that comes just hours after Republicans in the Texas House passed new maps of their own.

Texas state House Republicans are ready to pass their redistricting bill Wednesday as the session reconvenes at 11 a.m. EDT Wednesday after weeks of fighting.

The vote overcame weeks of protests from House Democrats who fled the state to stall a vote on the mid-cycle redistricting.
