BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — We’re getting a look at how voting is going for a highly discussed race involving redistricting in California when it comes to Prop 50, which is projected to pass.
This is how California voted for Prop 50:
Yes – 65.8% (3,191,475)
No – 34.2% (1,661,508)
If passed, the measure would give the state legislature temporary authority to redraw California’s congressional district maps, potentially shifting the balance of power toward Democrats.
Nationwide, that would give Democrats a slim majority in the House.
Prop 50 would only be temporary, expiring in 2030 when the Citizens Redistricting Commission would regain control of the maps.
