A conservative legal group with a long record of attacking voting rights filed a lawsuit against Californias Proposition 50, seeking to block the states voter-approved congressional map.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) known for pushing aggressive lawsuits aiming to purge voter rolls and undermine federal voting protections filed the new complaint Tuesday in federal court.
The lawsuit is the second aiming to overturn Proposition 50 since voters overwhelmingly passed it November 4.
The measure authorizes a temporary congressional map to counter the extreme gerrymandering demanded by President Donald Trump in Republican-controlled states, like Texas.
PILF has significant influence in Trumps Washington, D.C. A former lawyer for the group now leads the voting section at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). And its founder, Christian Adams, was a member of Trumps short-lived voter fraud commission, launched in 2017.
NEW: A right-wing legal group notorious for attacking voting rights filed a lawsuit against Californiaâs Prop 50, arguing it violates the Constitution. They seek to block the voter-approved congressional map, despite overwhelming support for the measure.
