A California legislative hearing turned into a shouting match Tuesday as a Republican lawmaker clashed with Democrats over a partisan plan to rewrite U.S. House maps to win Democrats more seats.

Texas Republicans now face a clear path to redraw the state’s congressional maps after state House Democrats ended their 15-day walkout and returned to the Capitol on Monday.

Rep. George Whitesides, a prime GOP target, would be in a bluer district as other Dems pick up more Republican voters.

One of the pieces of legislation involved in the process, AB 604, states that the detailed maps have been prepared by the Assembly Committee on Elections and the Senate Committee on Elections. But neither leader of the committees would confirm Tuesday that those committees are drawing the maps.

Texas Republicans are moving closer to approving new congressional maps amid a Democratic show of protest over the GOP House speaker’s order that members who fled the state weeks earlier be placed under law enforcement watch.

Maps made public Friday afternoon show how California Democrats hope to reconfigure the state’s 52 congressional districts. The plan targets five of California’s nine Republican members of Congress, and is designed to counteract the redistricting efforts in Texas that would favor Republicans. The maps were updated Monday.

Proposed new congressional maps in California could help Democrats flip five Republican seats and bolster around five Democratic incumbents in toss-up districts.

Republican lawmakers in California filed a lawsuit on Tuesday asking the state Supreme Court to step in and stop Democrats from moving forward with a plan to redraw congressional districts by delaying key votes at the state Capitol this week.
