<\/p>\n

The dust hasn\u2019t even settled on Proposition 50<\/span>, but another proposed initiative for voters to decide is already in the works.<\/p>\n

\n

Orange County attorney James V. Lacy filed a proposal with the California attorney general\u2019s office this week for an initiative that would scale back the mid-cycle congressional redistricting plan approved by voters this week.<\/p>\n

\n

Proposition 50 makes changes to California\u2019s congressional maps for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections. The goal is to give California Democrats an advantage in five more House races for the upcoming midterms, and the subsequent two elections, to offset similar gerrymandering by Republicans in other states.<\/p>\n

\n

Lacy\u2019s proposal would ask voters<\/span> if they\u2019d like to restrict the new congressional maps only to the 2026 elections. The congressional districts already established by California\u2019s independent commission would be used in the 2028 and 2030 elections, the proposal states.<\/p>\n
