Voter-Approved Proposition Grants Authority to Legislature
This initiative, Proposition 50, was approved by the electorate on Tuesday evening, representing a decisive victory for Democrats. The plan grants on a temporary basis the authority to draw congressional districts to the California legislature, enabling it to adopt district maps that will help the Democratic party pick up five congressional seats in the US House of Representatives.
