California voters approve Democratic-drawn congressional map
Digest more
Californians are voting on a ballot initiative, "Proposition 50," to determine if the state will adopt a new congressional map that redraws five districts to be more Democratic-leaning, potentially allowing Democrats to flip them in the midterms.
After President Trump asked Texas to remap districts to favor Republicans, California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed Prop. 50. The measure would redraw California's map to favor Democrats and could flip up to five GOP House of Representative seats.
Under Prop 50, millions of Californians would be drawn into a district likely represented by a representative of a different party. We show who these voters are.
