Newsom's Election Rigging Act Passes; CA Congressional Republicans Are on the Brink of Extinction

There was only one issue on the ballot in California this Election Day: Gov. Gavin Newsom's Election Rigging Act, Proposition 50, which throws out the maps the state constitution-mandated independent redistricting commission spent a year drawing and replaces them with maps paid for by the DCCC and drawn by an extreme partisan with the purpose of disenfranchising Republicans.

Although polls closed only 30 minutes ago, and although people are still voting at some vote centers, the race has already been called - Newsom now can brag that California has voter-approved gerrymandering that could decimate the state's Republican congressional delegation.

Newsom pushed the plan as a response to what he called President Donald Trump's power grab, at first claiming that it would only go into effect if Texas went forward with redistricting, but dropped the mask pretty quickly because his deadline to get it on the ballot was before the Texas legislature decided what they were going to do.

Of course, Newsom and his lackeys ignored the fact that Texas had to change some of its districts as a result of litigation brought by the US Department of Justice during the Biden administration.

Before Newsom got the proposition on the ballot, Republicans like former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, and money man Charles Munger Jr. said they would bring the fight to Newsom with hundreds of millions of dollars to flood the state with ads and get-out-the-vote efforts, but much of that failed to materialize, with Schwarzenegger spending a big chunk of his time during the campaign in Europe and never coming out to stump for the No on 50 campaign:

But California’s most popular Republican — and the last to have any real relevance in state politics — did little to make that case to voters. Instead of barnstorming the state in opposition to the measure on Tuesday’s ballot, Schwarzenegger spent a key stretch this fall cavorting across Europe, leading a life that one adviser likened to that of “a real-life Forrest Gump.”

Republicans remained disheartened by the constant election integrity issues in the state, including transparent ballot return envelopes in some counties and holes in the ballot return envelope that could reveal how a person voted. Many who said they were going to vote said they were going to do so in person, but as of Election Day that hadn't materialized (in-person voting in most California counties starts 10 days before Election Day). As California Republican Party delegate Elizabeth Barcohana said on Monday night:

It is the night before Election Day
4 Million California Republicans still haven’t voted
Those 4 Million voters alone could have beaten the 3.3 Million Democrats who voted so far, but they surrendered. We don’t have a numbers or cheating problem. We have a laziness problem.
Democrat turnout took off on October 18th, while Republican and Independent turnout stayed shallow, almost flat, even after in person voting started on the 25th.

The story's not over, though. President Trump said Tuesday that mail-in ballots in the state are "under very serious legal and criminal review."
