California Farmers Fight Against Prop 50 Amid Changes to U.S. House Map
California farmers are pushing back against a new ballot initiative, Prop 50, which could influence the redrawing of congressional district boundaries in 2026. The measure is aimed at addressing agricultural water usage concerns but faces opposition from farm groups.
California farmers are pushing back on Prop 50, a ballot measure that could impact congressional districts and potentially alter the balance of power in the US House of Representatives in 2026. The measure, which would allow for reapportionment of Congress after the 2030 census, is being eyed by Democrats as a potential tool to redraw House maps. Opponents, including farmers, are concerned that the changes could harm agricultural communities and disrupt rural way of life. The special election concludes on Wednesday, with voting results expected to be released shortly thereafter.
