Yes on Prop 50

Why support the Election Rigging Response Act?

Donald Trump is making an unprecedented power grab to steal congressional seats and rig the 2026 election before voting even begins. Other Republican states are following suit. They want to steal enough seats to control Congress regardless of how the people vote. This is an emergency for our democracy that will have severe consequences if we don’t act.

We have already seen how Trump has illegally imposed tariffs and hurt California families, illegally blocked funding for our schools, and ordered mass arrests without warrants. The 2026 election for Congress represents our only chance to provide an essential check and balance on Trump’s dangerous agenda. 

If Californians don’t act now, Donald Trump will seize total power for two more years, continuing to break the law and hurt working people.

That’s why Californians are rallying behind Proposition 50, the Election Rigging Response Act, to counter Trump’s ability to steal five seats in Texas — and give Americans a fighting chance for fair representation in Congress.

What does Prop. 50, The Election Rigging Response Act, do?

  • It Levels the Playing Field: Ensures the 2026 mid-term elections are conducted on a level playing field without an unfair advantage for Republicans.
  • It Commits to Fair Redistricting: Reaffirms California’s commitment to independent redistricting and calls on all states to commit to fair and impartial maps.
  • It Gives Voters the Power: Puts the power in the hands of the people of California to approve emergency congressional district maps
  • It Is Fair and Proportional: California is taking action in response to Donald Trump and Texas Republicans power grab.
  • It Is Temporary: It affirms California’s commitment to national redistricting reform – retaining California’s Commission for the 2030 census and declaring it state policy to support the use of fair, nonpartisan redistricting commissions nationwide.
