There was only one issue on the ballot in California this Election Day: Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Election Rigging Act, Proposition 50, which throws out the maps the state constitution-mandated independent redistricting commission spent a year drawing and replaces them with maps paid for by the DCCC and drawn by an extreme partisan with the purpose of disenfranchising Republicans.
Although polls closed only 30 minutes ago, and although people are still voting at some vote centers, the race has already been called – Newsom now can brag that California has voter-approved gerrymandering that could decimate the state’s Republican congressional delegation.
Newsom pushed the plan as a response to what he called President Donald Trump’s power grab, at first claiming that it would only go into effect if Texas went forward with redistricting, but dropped the mask pretty quickly because his deadline to get it on the ballot was before the Texas legislature decided what they were going to do.
Of course, Newsom and his lackeys ignored the fact that Texas had to change some of its districts as a result of litigation brought by the US Department of Justice during the Biden administration.
