Democrats faced questions from Republican MPs during this week’s hearing, which was on the alleged lack of transparency in the formatting of these maps and the alleged decrease of the financial implications of the November 4 special election.

Democratic MPs and Newsom have repeatedly emphasized that these redistributed efforts will not get rid of the independent commission and that the new map they are expecting to implement will be lines used through 2030 elections.

The notion was rejected by Jones, who said: “Growing up, I was taught that two mistakes are not correct, so no, it is not appropriate.”
