and on their website said they were against gerrymandering no matter who does it, also saying they are against what Newsom is doing and Texas is doing.

They are talking out of both sides of their mouths, and while they may not be affiliated with that mailer, they sure as hell said they oppose any redistricting no matter who does it.

Which is nonsense, since the only reason California is doing it is to offset what Texas is doing to try and prevent a rigging of the election.

If California was trying to "rig" the election, they would have redistricted more than 5 seats. What they did is match what Texas did, and in addition, the Governor said this was temporary to offset the rigging that Texas was doing.
