It now needs only a simple majority to pass, and recent polling has it at 57% of voters in favor and 35% opposed. My guess is that it will likely pass. I'd love to see Illinois follow suit. Suck it fascists!

Curious, from a non-american... does texas have to put it through a special election as well? I've seen several articles talking about it going to a vote in Cali, but nothing about texas needing to do the same.
So Cali has the ability to put almost anything on the ballet, for better and worse. One benefit is that it can allow for laws and regulations to change quicker. Not sure how Texas works, but sounds like a hostage situation to me.
In before the "hurr durr blue maga. Democrats never actually do anything" folks move the goalposts again.
With Newsom's signature, now it's up to the voters to decide whether to temporarily sidestep the state's independent redistricting commission
How temporary is "temporary"? I can't find it in the article
I'm just speculating here, but I imagine they need to be redrawn every so many years. Probably until then?
Edit: The OP says once every 10 years, but where we are in those 10 years today I don't know.
Redistricting is normally done after the US Census, which happens every decade. Next one is scheduled for 2030.
