As California prepares for a special election, Proposition 50 is at the forefront of political debate, promising to temporarily redraw congressional lines. With over 4 million ballots returned so far, supporters—including Democrats and high-profile figures like Barack Obama—are banking on the measure to reshape representation in the state, particularly benefiting urban areas over GOP strongholds in Northern California. Despite a significant mobilization from Republicans, their campaign against Prop 50 appears to be faltering, leading to increased tensions within the party. Polls indicate strong support for the measure, driven by concerns over representation and national issues, including opposition to former President Trump. As the fight intensifies, both sides are expected to ramp up their campaigning efforts in the final days leading up to the vote.
