If you are a California voter, I implore you to back Proposition 50, a hopefully temporary measure to block the Trump-Republican scheme to rig U.S. House districts for perpetual GOP control.

They declared war on democracy. Vote Yes. A no vote gives them what they want.

Proposition 50 | Official Voter Information Guide | California Secretary of State

Official Voter Information Guide, November 4, 2025, California Statewide Special Election.

I voted at my county's Vote Center last week. Check your county's website for info. Everyone's also supposed to be getting mail ballots.

This is a crucial vote for America's future, if we are going to avoid dictatorship.

@dangillmor The ballot collection sites open this weekend. I'll be depositing my Yes on 50 vote.
@pomCountyIrregs @dangillmor Afaik they are open already… I dropped my ballot into a collection box last week, and this morning I got a txt msg ack that it had been received and processed.
@UweHalfHand @dangillmor I think the collection boxes are—I favor the one in front of the LA Library branch on Moorpark near Whitsett. But the sites with people are what I'm talking about. I recall my sample ballot as saying they open Saturday the 25th.
@pomCountyIrregs @dangillmor Got it! Yeah, I avoid places with people present 🥴 I’m an old curmudgeon I guess!

@dangillmor Volunteer to phonebank on Yes on 50! I'm doing it as much as I can and it's actually fun!?! They use an autodialer and give you training before you call. Sign up here:

Join our virtual phonebanks and help stop the Trump / MAGA agenda. Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections and passing Prop 50 is the best chance we have of taking back Congress next year. We'll be phoning 6 days per week, 2 shifts per day. Our Spanish language phonebanks will be Sundays from 12-2 and Thursdays from 6 - 8 PM. We have a separate Mobilize for those shifts - https://www.mobilize.us/cadems/event/833417/ Our AAPI multi-language phonebanks is on Thursdays from 6 - 8 PM. The mobilize sign up for that is https://www.mobilize.us/cadems/event/846944/ We'll gather on zoom and be using the Scale to Win dialer and will have a short training at the beginning of each shift. You will need to be on a laptop or tablet to make the calls. Join us as often as you can, encourage your friends to come and help save our country!

@dangillmor it's not hopefully temporary. It is temporary.
