US EditionCalifornia Voters Take up Prop 50, a Democratic Push for More US House Seats
Proposition 50 would transfer redistricting authority from an independent commission to the legislature, potentially increasing Democratic seats in three future election cycles.
- On November 4, 2025, California voters will decide Proposition 50, which would shift redistricting power from the California Citizens Redistricting Commission to the California Legislature.
- If approved, district lines would be redrawn for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 cycles, potentially giving Democrats more House seats and shifting Republican-majority cities like Santee, Ramona, and Poway into Democrat-leaning districts.
- All San Diego County vote centers are open 7 a.m.-8 p.m. for in-person voting and ballot drop-offs, including the Registrar of Voters in Kearny Mesa at 5600 Overland Ave with drop-off locations listed on sdvote.com.
- Opponents argue the measure creates one of the most extreme partisan gerrymanders in modern American history and called it a "threat to democracy and fair elections in California," while analysts offered breakdowns of possible political impacts.
- Reporting also flagged concerns: Leavitt said Tuesday that the White House is working on an executive order to strengthen elections and prevent fraud, citing issues with California’s mail-in voting system.
