California's #Prop50 doesn't have the same legal frailty as the blocked Texas map - their voters were asked to vote for it to oppose Trump's power grab, which is 100% political, not racial. Pod: https://bit.ly/3Z0lr7x ⁠prospect.org/2025/11...

So it's ok when Texas does this bullshit, but California? Oh no! This crappy administration throws a hissy fit.

📝In a letter to the editor, reader Peter McNamee writes that eight conservative California counties that backed Trump in 2024 voted yes on Prop. 50 this year — a sign, he says, of fading support for MAGA politics.

"Do you hear that? The sleeping giant of America is up and roaring"
[Cartoon by Benjamin Slyngstad]

The cartoon shows a bloated Donald Trump, in suit and floor-length red tie, standing at a leaking dike, with his finger in one hole, stopping the water, while nearby are several furious leaks, labelled "SHERRILL", "SPANBERGER", "PROP 50" and "MAMDAMI".

Both maps in the article are misleading, because it's one person, one vote, not "one acre, one vote".

All that bright red area in the 2024 presidential results, and the orange "no" areas in California, are mostly sparsely populated counties. The maps exaggerate the importance of large land areas with few voters. Cows don't vote!

The presidential map is doubly misleading: the bright red and blue colors hide what proportion of a county's voters voted Republican or Democratic. 51%-49% and 99%-1% look the same.

Trump's nationwide margin was one of the smallest in history, not at all a landslide!

Better: maps where area is made proportional to the number of people.

Maps like these, from engaging-data.com and apnews.com. (For the presidential vote, county populations are an imperfect approximation of actual votes, but that's what I found in a quick web search.)

2024 Presidential Election Results by County, a map from engaging-data.com. Circles of different shades of blue and red represent Democratic and Republican vote margins in each county; the areas are proportional to counties' population.
The West Coast and Northeast are heavily blue, with a mixture in the Midwest and Southeast, more pale red (smaller margins) in the Southwest, and tiny red dots in the Rocky Mountain and Great Plains states.

A map of "ballots counted" in California counties, with colored circles' areas representing numbers of ballots, and different shades of blue (for "yes" majority) or orange (for "no" majority) indicating vote share. There are large blue circles around Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento, Fresno, and the southernmost counties. Orange circles are much smaller.

A strong wind blowing across the country this morning.

@mspopok.bsky.social explains how Trump's head of his #DOJ #CivilRightsDivision is affiliated with the law firm that filed a new federal lawsuit to overturn #Prop50, and why this case is just window dressing to cover up for a wipeout on election night. youtu.be/585SZyTUQrA?...

Photo of Lety flashing double victory hands while sitting on the bleachers of an outdoor baseball diamond during a bright, sunny day. From top to bottom, she is shown wearing a white-and-pink huanengo blouse, two LA County I Voted stickers, a white cotton belt, denim booty shorts with oversized pockets, and tan kwarachi sandals. Lety's on large, concrete bleachers, knees on the floor, and sitting on her heels while she leans back, resting her elbows on the seating level above her. Her blouse is pulled up to her neck, showing off her chest and the two I Voted stickers she's wearing as pasties. She's smiling right at the camera, both of her hands raised in a victory peace sign, hoping this photo wouldn't be wasted on poor election results the day after. And it wasn't!

Neera Tanden: "Hats off to Gavin Newsom who took a big risk to do a ballot proposition in order to fight Trump's rigging of the 2026 elections - and won. We ask leaders to fight for our democracy. And when they do let's applaud them." #politics #Prop50

"California Republicans thought they could beat Newsom's gerrymander. They crashed and burned.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I thought for sure Trump was going to claim the #NYC election was rigged, not that he'd claim #prop50 in #California was rigged. Guess we know now which one worries him the most.

Just 38% of voters supported having CA redist *July survey.⚡With 15 weeks of hindsight -to see Prop 50’s decisive win...

#Prop50: called as soon as the polls closed.

Outlook wasn't certain for Newsom back when #Democrats were still clinging to hope. They plowed ahead, bldg up a💰advantage, unifying & galvanizing voters around an anti-Trump msg -in a matter of weeks.

Win: will echo across the nat pol land *rebuke to Trump from the C’s biggest state.

Image features a portrait of Gavin Newsom with a blue background containing text and graphics. A "YES ON PROP 50" sign is prominently displayed. The upper text discusses internal polling and redistricting strategies related to Donald Trump.

🗳️ Mendocino County voters approved Prop. 50 with 65% support — above the statewide rate — reshaping local congressional districts. However, the new maps face a GOP court challenge filed Wednesday.
