I sent in my ballot over the weekend. All my fellow Californians please vote, it takes 30 seconds and a quick walk to the nearest mailbox. And please vote Yes, most of the No campaign is disingenuous and based on misinformation.
Yes = temporarily switching to a map that favors Democrats, as a counterweight to Republicans already doing the same thing in other states. It’s temporary, the nonpartisan redistricting committee isn’t going anywhere.
No = closing your eyes, plugging your ears, and pretending like everything is normal and that we aren’t in an existential crisis.
I don’t have a vote there, but have not seen the wording. Is there something in it that explicitly makes it temporary? Or is it just that the sitting bipartisan committee will have the opportunity and motive to fix it?
Yeah, the text of the proposition makes it explicitly temporary. Here’s the language on the ballot:
Requires temporary use of new congressional district maps through 2030. Directs independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to resume enacting congressional district maps in 2031. Establishes policy supporting nonpartisan redistricting commissions nationwide.
Thanks. Yeah the reality is vote for that stinker while holding your nose, hoping the air will clear
There’s a specified expiration date circa 2030 IIRC.
Thanks
Californians be sure to vote anyways. I never trust any story like this right before an election
Edit: I’ve since gotten a text and call from the ‘vote no on prop 50’ republicans…
Collapse? Unless all the Republicans and liars who always vote Republican suddenly died, it didn’t collapse.
Reminder, many Californians can vote early in person right now. They can also register at a polling place if they haven’t done so.
