Amends the California Constitution to allow the state legislature to redraw U.S. congressional district boundaries.
Plain-English Summary
Proposition 50 is a constitutional amendment that would allow California's state legislature to temporarily stop using a nonpartisan commission for drawing U.S. congressional district boundaries. Instead, the state could use lines drawn by its Democratic state lawmakers. This change aims to increase the Democratic party's chances of winning more seats in Congress.
What each outcome does
If Proposition 50 passes, the California legislature will be able to redraw the state's congressional districts through 2030, potentially creating more seats favorable to Democrats.
If Proposition 50 fails, California will continue to use its current nonpartisan commission to draw U.S. congressional district boundaries.
