The new California Congressional, state legislative, and Board of Equalization maps have been finalized--the first set to have been drafted by the bipartisan Citizens Redistricting Commission.

Meanwhile, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund is thinking about taking the maps to federal court because they believe there aren't enough majority-Latino districts.
