Will Voters Reject Newsom's Risky Vote Scheme? | #4805

Governor Gavin Newsom’s latest political gamble could cost him more than he realizes. By trying to scrap California’s independent redistricting commission and restore power to the legislature, he has reopened a fight most voters thought was settled.
When California voters approved the commission, the goal was simple: keep politicians from drawing districts to benefit themselves. It wasn’t a partisan issue — it was about fairness and accountability. Newsom’s proposal threatens to undo that progress, handing the line drawing back to lawmakers who fully intend to gerrymander for their benefit alone!
