The Texas Legislature is moving ahead with a congressional redistricting map that would give Republicans additional seats, while Democrats in California are putting a competing proposal before voters this fall.

The Texas House is scheduled to vote on Aug. 20 on a newly drawn congressional map that would give Republicans five extra seats. The state Senate passed the map on Aug. 13, and Gov. Greg Abbott has said he will sign it.
