Proposition 50 could tilt House control

California voters will decide Tuesday whether Proposition 50 redraws congressional lines, a move that could deliver up to five new Democratic seats and influence control of the U.S. House. In Republican-leaning Loomis near Sacramento, residents like councilmember Amanda Cortez and voter Mike Murray oppose being split into Democratic-leaning districts, and opponents warn it would sideline the state’s independent redistricting commission. Supporters from Truckee frame the measure as a check on President Trump, citing immigration enforcement and rural health care. With a deep blue electorate, backers appear to hold the advantage heading into election week.
