Obama Backs California Prop 50 to Add 5 Democratic House Seats

Republican narrative

Proposition 50 represents a blatant Democratic power grab that abandons California's commitment to fair, independent redistricting. This scheme would toss aside district lines carefully crafted by the nonpartisan commission that voters themselves created over a decade ago. Democrats are hypocritically destroying the very reform they once championed just to rig five more House seats for themselves.
