The Proposition 50 congressional redistricting measure that California voters appeared to have passed statewide in Tuesday\u2019s special election saw stronger support in the Democratic-leaning San Francisco Bay Area.<\/p>\n

With 76% of precincts reporting to the California Secretary of State\u2019s Office as of shortly after 11 p.m. on Election Night, Prop. 50 had 64.1% approval, well above the majority needed to pass.<\/p>\n

The measure will suspend congressional district maps drawn by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission until 2030 and replace them with new maps designed to give Democrats an advantage following similar moves by Republican lawmakers in Texas and other states.<\/p>\n

Among the nine-county Bay Area as of 11 p.m., San Francisco\u2019s voters had the most support for Prop. 50 at 84.33% while Marin and Alameda counties were both at about 80%.<\/p>\n

Solano County had the lowest percentage of yes votes at 62.50%, with Napa County\u2019s 67.63% the second-lowest. To the north of the Bay Area, Mendocino County had 65.08%; to the east, San Joaquin County had 54.80%; and to the south, Santa Cruz County had 77.77% and Monterey County had 68.12%.<\/p>\n

More information on the Proposition 50 results by county can be found on the Local News Matters Civic Engagement Hub<\/a> or on the Secretary of State\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
