California Governor Gavin Newsom is facing pushback from Republicans over his redistricting plan, which is set to appear on the November ballot. Newsom's plan aims to redraw political boundaries in the state, a process that has historically been rife with controversy and accusations of gerrymandering.

The proposed plan by Newsom has sparked a heated debate, with Republicans arguing that it unfairly favors Democratic candidates. The petition filed by California Republicans to keep the redistricting plan off the ballot highlights the deep political divide in the state.

The redistricting debate in California is part of a larger national conversation about how electoral boundaries are drawn. Newsom's plan has drawn comparisons to efforts in other states, such as Texas, where redistricting has been a contentious issue.

As Californians prepare to head to the polls in November, the battle over Newsom's redistricting plan is likely to intensify. The outcome of this debate will have far-reaching implications for the state's political landscape and the balance of power in California.
