Tony Strickland, Sen. Suzette Martinez Valladares, Assemblyman Tri Ta and Assemblywoman Kate Sanchez \u2014 went to the state\u2019s high court on Tuesday seeking to effectively block the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The petition sought to stop Democrats from moving ahead until Sept. 18, far past the window that state officials have said would be necessary to prepare for an election on Nov. 4. The lawmakers\u2019 attorneys acknowledged in court filings that it was a case of first impression but said that permitting Democrats\u2019 strategy would be \u201ccomically absurd.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a joint statement, the lawmakers stressed the court did not explain its ruling and said it is \u201cnot the end of this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis means Governor Newsom and the Democrats\u2019 plan to gut the voter-created Citizens Redistricting Commission, silence public input, and stick taxpayers with a $200+ million bill will proceed,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe will continue to challenge this unconstitutional power grab in the courts and at the ballot box. Californians deserve fair, transparent elections, not secret backroom deals to protect politicians,\u201d it continued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The California Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a petition filed by state Republican legislators seeking to halt Gov.
