* The reasons for Prop 50: Donald Trump and Texas Republicans are scheming to steal congressional seats and rig the 2026 election before voting even begins.

* Other GOP states are following their lead, aiming to seize control of Congress even if voters reject their billionaire-first agenda. This isn’t politics as usual; it’s an emergency for our democracy.

* Prop 50 is temporary: These maps expire in 2030. The Election Rigging Response Act preserves California’s award-winning redistricting reforms and reaffirms the California Redistricting Commission’s authority to draw congressional districts after the next census.

* Trump has already hurt California families with tariffs, denied wildfire aid, and ordered mass arrests without warrants.

* The 2026 election is our chance to stop him. If we don’t act now, Trump will seize total power for two more years with no checks and balances.

* THE YES ON PROP 50 coalition includes: Governor Gavin Newsom leader, President Barack Obama, Senator Alex Padilla, Senator Adam Schiff, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, election experts, independent redistricting commissioners, and is endorsed by the California Democratic Party, Planned Parenthood, the NAACP, California veterans, teachers, and nurses.
