Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.
So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf.
Turning the military on citizens.
Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.
Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime.
