LOS ANGELES, United States, Nov 5, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - California voted overwhelmingly to redraw its electoral districts Tuesday in a poll Democrats called to counter efforts by President Donald Trump to gerrymander in Republican states.

Early results showed a large majority in the traditionally liberal state voted in favor of a motion that was widely promoted as an opportunity to "stick it to Trump."

Voters approved of Proposition 50 by a margin of two-to-one, early official results showed, with several major media outlets projecting it would retain a significant majority.

The result is a major win for Governor Gavin Newsom, who is increasingly staking his claim to leadership of the Democratic Party on his willingness to stand up to Trump.
