The Libertarian Party Opposes Proposition 50
Prop 50 would undo a key reform that entrusted congressional map-drawing to
California’s independent Citizens Redistricting Commission. Instead, it
would adopt a new map written into law by politicians—tilting the process
toward the party in power.
Libertarians reject gerrymandering in all forms. Fair elections come from
empowering voters, not letting politicians choose their voters. For more
than a decade, Californians have relied on a citizen-led commission to keep
redistricting independent and transparent. Prop 50 would move us backward.
LPC urges a NO vote on Proposition 50.
Why Say No on Prop 50
Proposition 50 would roll back independent redistricting and hand
map-drawing back to Sacramento insiders. Fair elections require fair
maps—Prop 50 undermines both.
Independent oversight: The Citizens Redistricting Commission is
citizen-led, not controlled by career politicians.
Community representation: Fair maps keep neighborhoods and local interests
together.
Accountability: Competitive districts make legislators earn votes instead
of relying on gerrymanders.
If Prop 50 passes, politicians could redraw districts to protect their own
seats, carve apart communities, and tilt elections for years. Once power is
seized, it’s rarely returned. Say No on Prop 50.
