BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — We're getting a look at how voting is going for a highly discussed race involving redistricting in California when it comes to Prop 50, which is projected to pass.
This is how California voted for Prop 50:
Yes - 64.1% (4,732,735)
No - 35.9% (2,654,241)
This is how Kern County voted for Prop 50:
No - 56% (55,510)
Yes - 44% (42,497)
If passed, the measure would give the state legislature temporary authority to redraw California's congressional district maps, potentially shifting the balance of power toward Democrats.
Nationwide, that would give Democrats a slim majority in the House.
Prop 50 would only be temporary, expiring in 2030 when the Citizens Redistricting Commission would regain control of the maps.
