Eleven Democrats are vying to unseat Rep. Darrell Issa, a San Diego Republican, after Californias redistricting measure turned his reliably red district into a slightly blue one that will be a key swing race in next years midterm elections.
Rep. Mike Levin, a San Clemente Democrat, can breathe easier, as Proposition 50 carves out new boundaries that make his swing district more safely Democratic.
The new voting map reflects Californias bid to offset Texas effort to secure control of the House by adding five Republican seats in November. California voters approved the redistricting plan proposed in Proposition 50 by nearly 20 points in a special election this month.
Both redistricting efforts are embroiled in litigation. On Tuesday a federal court blocked Texas from using its new maps, finding that they would harm Black and Latino voters in that state. Last week the U.S. Department of Justice sued to overturn Californias maps, arguing that they unlawfully considered Latino voters in the new districts.

It will be so good to see them vanished.

(17,914 posts)thank you. 👍🏼👍🏼. Ive lost track of the San Diego area reps.
Prop 50 has been bringing up all those areas again with the redistricting conversations so I cant wait to see who gets drawn out. (Edit: the Ken Calvert district especially , though its just outside San Diego),
