California Democrats passed a trio of redistricting bills Thursday, a day after Republicans in the Texas House passed new maps of their own.

The state Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a challenge from California Republicans who filed a lawsuit earlier this week requesting an emergency injunction to stop the redistricting effort on the grounds that the legislature didn't give voters enough notice.

Five districts in the proposed map would shift from Republican to Democratic:
Three safe Republican districts, represented by Reps. Doug LaMalfa, Kevin Kiley and Ken Calvert, would shift to safe Democratic
One safe Republican district, represented by Rep. Darrell Issa, would shift to lean Democratic
