奥巴马支持CA Prop 50让Dems重新绘制众议院地图, Obama backs CA Prop 50 to let Dems redraw House maps, citing fair representation.

前总统欧巴马(Barack Obama)已认可加利福尼亚州50号提案, 这项投票措施将允许州民主党推翻独立的区划委员会和重新划定的美国众议院区界线。 Former President Barack Obama has endorsed California’s Proposition 50, a ballot measure that would allow state Democrats to override the independent redistricting commission and redraw U.S. House district boundaries. 这一倡议在总督Gavin Newsom的支持下,旨在对抗德克萨斯州等州共和党的拉皮条行为,并有可能在2026年的期中将共和党占据的众议院席位翻到5席。 The initiative, backed by Governor Gavin Newsom, aims to counter Republican gerrymandering in states like Texas and potentially flip up to five Republican-held House seats in the 2026 midterms. 欧巴马将这项努力设计为反对党派操纵选举地图的防御,并警告说改变规则会破坏民主。 Obama framed the effort as a defense against partisan manipulation of electoral maps, warning that changing rules midstream undermines democracy. 这项措施定于2025年11月4日进行投票表决,并引发了关于公平代表性和党派在重新划分选区中的作用的辩论。 The measure is set for a vote on November 4, 2025, and has sparked debate over fair representation and the role of partisanship in redistricting.
