SACRAMENTO — Polling places throughout California open today for a special election that could help Democrats’ efforts to quell President Trump’s agenda but, if trends hold, most of the votes may have already been cast.
Voters in California have approved Proposition 50, a ballot proposal to adopt a new congressional map that redraws five districts to be more Democratic-leaning, ABC News projects.
California voters approved Proposition 50 on Tuesday, Nov. 4, in a statewide special election that was announced less than three months prior. And in about a year, Californians will be back at the polls.
The measure is an attempt by Democrats to counteract Republican gerrymanders President Trump has sought in red states. If approved, it would change California’s congressional district boundaries to make it easier for Democrats to flip five seats now held by Republicans.
