California gears up for Proposition 50 special election. Here's when ballots mail out.
Ballots for California's special election on Proposition 50 will be mailed out to voters beginning next Monday.
With millions of dollars in TV advertising, California's congressional redistricting battle has become an expensive debate, but will it translate into voter turnout?
If it passes, Proposition 50 would shift five of California's U.S. House seats to be more favorable to Democrats in next year's midterm elections. The plan was created to counter Texas' newly redrawn congressional districts that favor Republicans.
The ads are seemingly everywhere. The Proposition 50 political fight has now led to more than $50 million spent on TV ads, according to AdImpact. That figure is approaching the levels seen in Proposition 22's campaign in 2020, which allows app-based companies like Uber and Lyft to classify drivers as independent contractors. Proposition 22 TV ad spending alone topped $66 million, according to AdAge.
