Temecula Rep. Issa files, loses suit against Prop 50

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Bonsall) filed and lost a case against Proposition 50 in just two days.

The member of the House Committee on the Judiciary filed his suit Oct. 29, asking the Northern District of Texas, Amarillo Division, to halt the gerrymandered congressional districts even if California voters approve it in Tuesday's election. He asked for the court to find that the proposed maps violate the Equal Protection Clause, the one person, one vote doctrine, the Civil Rights Act and the Elections Clause of the US Constitution.
