Proposition 50, on the ballot in a special election for November 4th this year, would authorize gerrymandering Congressional districts in California by the Democratic Party controlled state legislature. Just this once. Because, Texas. Yes, Texas, a state that tilts Republican, at Trump's urging, gerrymandered their Congressional districts to favor more Republicans being elected to Congress. In the highly partisan world of Red-Blue politics in Washington, D.C., it matters who controls the House. The Republican majority is razor thin. And both sides are pulling out all stops, fair or foul, to win the majority of seats in next year's off-year Congressional elections. Democrats are framing Prop 50 as a way to offset any advantage gained by Republicans in Texas. It kind of reminds me of two toddlers getting into a squabble. Mom asks toddler number one, "Why did you hit your brother?" The toddler replies, "He hit me first."
