California's Proposition 50 aims to counter Texas' redistricting by changing maps to gain five Democratic seats.

California's Proposition 50 seeks to counteract Texas' redistricting plan, which could give Republicans five more seats. The California measure would temporarily change congressional maps to gain five Democratic seats. Critics argue it fosters a "redistricting arms race," while supporters see it as protecting nonpartisan redistricting. The move comes amid nationwide concerns over gerrymandering and its impact on representation.
