Lawsuit Filed Over New Oregon Congressional Maps
Oregon Republicans have filed a lawsuit against the new congressional districts that were approved by a special session in Salem last month. They accuse Democrats of gerrymandering. The lawsuit says the boundaries of the districts make it likely that Democrats will win five of the six seats in the House. Oregon got a sixth congressional district, because the U.S. Census showed enough population growth in the state.
