Prop 50 Approved: California Approves New House Maps in a Major Win for Democrats and Newsom​

California voters agreed Tuesday to aggressively redraw the state’s congressional district lines to wipe out as many as five Republican seats, according to The Associated Press, delivering a major victory for national Democrats hoping to wrest control of the House of Representatives in 2026.

Gavin Newsom, the state’s Democratic governor, had championed the ballot measure, successfully selling it as an emergency response to President Trump’s efforts to press Republican states across the country to redraw their own boundaries for political advantage.

It’s now possible that Democrats could hold as many as 48 of California’s 52 seats after 2026, up from the party’s current 43 seats.

.....at a cost to their taxpaywers of $250 million. Money well spent in the brainless Democrats world.

Yet, it won't change very much in a state that votes 40% Republican but only have 8 representatives. Red states will follow suit and we will see a much-needed net increase in Republican seats. This will make you cry and make me laugh.

Republicans might only have four of California's 52 congressional seats after this, lol

.....and Democrats will have even less in Red states. But I am glad to see leftist halfwits celebrating gerrymandering. We no longer have to see their hand wringing about it when red states follow suit.

Republican billionaire megadonor Charles Munger (who doesn't even live in California) spent $30 million of his own money to try to defeat Prop 50, lol

I’m hearing, although they are not admitting it yet, that California will add 7 to 9 democratic seats.

You're hearing is defective much like your brains. They might be lucky to pick up three.

But I am so very happy that Kamala voters will no longer be wringing their hands when red states gerrymander or lecture how bad it is.

so gerrymandering isn't as scary you thought eh?

While Republicans spend the last two decades gerrymandering states, California had a nonpartisan citizen-led commission to draw congressional district boundaries.

There you go with the brainless stupid lies again. I don't think you can post without lying and looking very stupid and uneducated.

Agreed on all points. I'd prefer a neutral commission being in charge of redistricting.

Districts should be representative of We, the People, not whichever party is in control.

:lolup: Two leftist morons in an echo chamber while cheering the outrageous gerrymandering of California and other Democratic controlled states.

This was a reaction to Trump demanding red states should gerrymander to help him get more Reds in office. Changing districts between censuses is never done. Now it is. Trump breaks any laws, rules, and regulations if he sees an advantage for himself. The Dems cannot watch Trump cheat and ignore it. They have to counter with the same nasty tactics.

Trump never made such a demand. LINK to where he made that demand. I don't think Kamala voters can post without lying and looking incredibly stupid and lame.

That claim is not accurate.

Redistricting (changing congressional or state legislative district boundaries) is commonly done between censuses for reasons beyond the decennial Census, including:
  • Court orders: Federal or state courts frequently mandate mid-decade redistricting to remedy violations of the Voting Rights Act, equal population principles (one person, one vote), or racial gerrymandering. Examples include North Carolina (2019, after a 2018 court ruling on partisan gerrymandering) and Virginia (2018–2019, for racial gerrymandering in House districts).
  • State-specific cycles or events: Some states redraw lines mid-decade due to population shifts, annexation, or independent commission rules. Florida redrew congressional maps in 2015–2016 following a state supreme court decision on unfair districts, years after the 2010 Census.
  • Special circumstances: Prison gerrymandering reforms or ballot initiatives can trigger changes, as in New York's 2022 mid-decade adjustments.
While the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 2) ties the Census to apportionment of House seats every 10 years, it does not prohibit boundary changes in intervening years.

Data from the Census Bureau's own reports and the National Conference of State Legislatures confirm dozens of mid-decade redistricting events since 2000.
