Election Day: What is California Prop 50 and where to vote

It's Election Day in California, with voters casting their ballots in the Proposition 50 special election.

Prop 50 will put the power of California's Congressional district lines in the hands of voters. Republicans view it as a Democratic power grab, while Democrats see it as necessary to counter Republican redistricting in Texas.

Voters can mail in or drop off their ballots and vote in person, with vote centers open from 7 a.m. Those in line at 8 p.m. will still have their votes counted.

President Donald Trump and Gov. Gavin Newsom have taken opposing stances ahead of the Prop 50 vote. The president called it a

"GIANT SCAM"
in a Truth Social post.
