Approval of measure could determine if Republicans keep full control of government in next year’s midterm elections
Voters in California on Tuesday approved a high-stakes redistricting measure, a national triumph for Democrats hoping to stop Donald Trump and Republicans from retaining full control of the federal government in next year’s midterm elections.
It was a decisive victory for Democrats in deep-blue California, who had raced to counter a gerrymander in Texas, engineered at the US president’s behest, to carve out new safe Republican districts. The Associated Press declared Proposition 50 had passed almost instantly when polls closed statewide.
I felt dirty voting for it, since I feel strongly against gerrymandering and was happy that CA HAD a law against it; but I also felt it was something I had to do.
Same. It has an expiration time though right? So it is only temporary.
Yeah three election cycles and then sunsets itself after 2030, which I really appreciated was baked directly in.
