The main webpage for Prop 50 says that the gerrymandering that will come prior to the California 2026 midterm elections is a direct response to Republicans’ gerrymandering in Texas to gain 5 more seats in the House of Representatives. This gerrymandering would not happen if Republicans didn’t do it first.
Prop 50 also says that these new election districts will be nullified in 2030 with the new US Census.
Yes, it is fully gerrymandering. There is no other term for it.
It sucks but we had to do it. I voted yes, mainly since it plans to self terminate and aims to stop Texas, who didn’t let it’s citizens vote on the same issue.
Is this gerrymandering? I’m not sure I understand.
Anyhow, even pro-democrat gerrymandering would be a plus at this point. Until it can be abolished completely.

Yes, the idea came from countering Trump’s gerrymandering push in Texas.
And I’m like 99% sure Texas didn’t get to vote on this matter. At least we did.
Yeah. Feels bad to vote for something like this, but if it’s between fighting dirty and living with fascism, well… I’m glad we passed it.
I heard that it only comes into effect if Texas goes ahead with their shenanigans.
