On Friday, the 2020 California Citizens Redistricting Commission announced the absence of a lawsuit challenging the new Congressional, Senate, Assembly and Board of Equalization maps.
Last night, the 2020 California Citizens Redistricting Commission (Commission) unanimously voted (14-0) to petition the California Supreme Court to make January 14, 2022 the deadline to submit final maps to the Secretary of State. The motion read:
Motion to seek an order from the CA State Supreme Court confirming that the calculation of the “additional federal delay” as used in the Padilla decision is to be based upon the date that the Statewide Database is able to reformat the legacy dataset into a usable format for building the statewide redistricting database, with a request for an additional extension of the deadline for approval and certification of the final maps to January 14, 2022 to allow for meaningful public input to account for the annual holiday period.
