- Republicans won the redistricting competition. Don't tell that to this California congressman
Democrats in California sliced Rep. Kevin Kiley's district into an overwhelmingly Democratic seat after Republicans were involved in redistricting efforts elsewhere. This action caused concern among conservative voters like Anne Smull and led the two-term congressman to leave the Republican Party and run as an independent. In response, Democrats have pledged to retaliate by splitting Republican-leaning districts in states including Maryland, New York, and Illinois.
