#Newsom plan to #Gerrymander #California #voting districts in obvious overwhelming favor of #DemocratParty finds opposition push from rich #GOP supporting silver spoon #SiliconValley son of a billionaire #BerkshireHathaway exec, who has put up his own $10 million to obfuscate and oppose #BallotMeasure effort.

More than $34 Million has been raised to sway voters so far on either side of ccontroversial #Prop50 midterm #redistricting scheme to add seats to state's already dominant donkey #Congressional caucus.

The #ballotmeasure, when appropriate, would dispatch #EMS and #mentalhealth workers to help someone in a mental health or addiction crisis, instead of the police.

But first, we have to collect 25,000 valid #signatures to get it on the ballot.

Over 85% of approx 108,000 #SanMateo voters approve the removal of ethically challenged sheriff Christina Corpus by a four fifths vote of county supervisors. Support for the unique #BallotMeasure garnered 90,900 votes for her removal, more than she won her office with. 17,318 county residents voted against removing the embattled #LawEnforcement official who has so far lost support of seven cities in the county, two sheriff’s unions,state and federal congressional leaders that have all called for Corpus to resign.

“While the initiative was in many ways unprecedented, it is our firm belief that, in this case, decisive action was necessary,” local #PoliceUnions said in a joint statement. “Today’s certified vote means that Sheriff Corpus’s reign of unscrupulous mismanagement will soon come to an end.”

Corpus says she has no plans to resign and her legal team is ready to fight the matter out in the courts saying she is "entitled to a public evidentiary hearing before a neutral and unbiased body. My legal team and I look forward to this opportunity, and are confident that I will be vindicated through a legitimate process.”

Good News from the #Election no one's talking about: #Maine #Question1, which limits campaign contributions by #billionaires, passes with NEARLY THREE QUARTERS OF THE VOTE.

This shows MASSIVE, #bipartisan, money-overcoming support for a #BallotMeasure to remove money from politics, paving a clear path for similar ballot measures in other states in 2022.

This is the kind of thing we need to rally around, as #activists: undermining the money in #US #Politics, #corruption, and the #TwoParty System in general.
