Aug 19 (Reuters) - Four California Republicans filed a lawsuit on Tuesday seeking to block Governor Gavin Newsom's redistricting plan, which would create five new Democratic U.S. congressional seats in his state, the New York Times reported.
The Republicans argue in their emergency petition that the state constitution prohibits lawmakers from acting on the redistricting bills until Sept. 18 because new legislation requires a 30-day review period, the Times reported.
