Applaud President Obama for Defending Fair Elections

In a powerful call to action, President Barack Obama is urging Californians to vote YES on Proposition 50 — a ballot measure that could reshape California’s congressional map and deliver up to five new Democratic seats in the U.S. House.

Proposition 50, championed by Governor Gavin Newsom and Democratic leaders, is a bold response to Republican-led gerrymandering efforts in Texas designed to tilt elections in Donald Trump’s favor. If approved, Prop 50 would ensure fair representation, protect independent redistricting over the long term, and keep California’s elections in the hands of the people — not partisan politicians.

As President Obama said, “Democracy is on the ballot. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power — but you can stop them in their tracks.”

Add your name to stand with President Obama, Governor Newsom, and California voters fighting to protect fair representation and stop Republican gerrymandering in its tracks.
