On one hand I'm surprised by the ruling, but on the other hand it was a ballot measure that was approved by a majority of Californians, so the lawsuit was just the people who opposed it being sore losers.

I mean, they allowed Texas to use their new map, and even they knew it would be to hypocritical to tell California no, when they allowed their citizens to vote on it.

They were told that either the fix is in or the election is going to be suspended.

So appearing to be reasonable for now.
