"Despite more than $100 million spent on the ballot fight so far, however, many are tuning out. Proposition 50 would temporarily redraw the boundaries of California's 52 congressional districts to help Democrats flip five of the nine seats now held by Republicans, a Democratic countermove to a Republican-led effort in Texas. But none of those five targeted districts are in the heavily Democratic Bay Area, where its impact is less personal."
"Republican Max Hsia and about a dozen of his South Bay Patriots group gathered in the San Jose parking lot of Bass Pro Shops, donned their red MAGA hats, hung their No on Prop 50 signs on a pop-up tent and tried to encourage a Charlie Kirk-style Prove Me Wrong debate with passers-by. That's not what they got with Evangelina Zavala. Instead, she pulled her Subaru SUV into a nearby parking slot, rolled down her windows and blasted the hip hop protest song, (Expletive) Donald Trump."
Republican activists held a pro-confrontation booth in a San Jose Bass Pro Shops parking lot to challenge passers-by over Proposition 50. A counter-protester blasted a hip hop protest song from her car instead of debating. Proposition 50 would temporarily redraw five of California's 52 congressional districts to help Democrats flip five Republican-held seats as a response to a Republican-led redistricting effort in Texas. The measure has attracted more than $100 million in spending, but many voters are tuning out. The Bay Area feels less personally affected because none of the targeted districts are local.
