Edit: Title updated. It has officially passed both the state assembly and the senate. It’s officially going to be on the California ballot in November.

    Okay so a red state is redder and a blue state is bluer.

    Let me know when Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, PA, GA and more join the wave.

      This is important because it helps preserve the house of representative political party ratio so the GOO doesn’t gerrymander themselves to a supermajority in the midterms.

        On top of that, the new red districts in Texas who aren’t exactly happy about this change are not exactly a lock. California district changes very likely are. There’s a slim but possible upset against maga in this whole maneuver.

      The blue state ain’t bluer yet. State senate has to ok it, the voters have to approve in November.

    Whenever I want to rip my hair out because of my country’s politics I look over there and don’t feel better but at least I remember it could be worse.
