Yes on 40: Approve Redistricting by Citizens Commission

This is an easy one. We approved Proposition 11 in 2008 to reform how California does redistricting. The independent Citizens Redistricting Commission did their difficult work and set new districts. Part of the Republican Party has been trying to challenge a few of the State Senate districts. They were trying to use this initiative to influence the CA Supreme Court's hearing of their case; they failed. They've since decided to stop their campaign to oppose the districts Prop 40, but we still have to vote for it because they qualified it for the ballot.

Vote YES on 40 to retain the new State Senate districts that were put in place by the Citizens Redistricting Commission.If you're still confused, here's the League of Women Voters' summary.
