Debate on Prop. 50

Debate on Prop. 50. 

California Democrats are urging voters to support adding more congressional seats for their party in response to a maneuver by Texas Republicans, who suddenly added five pro-Republican districts to their state map. With Election Day just days away, early voting is already in full swing. What is Proposition 50, also known as the Election Rigging Response Act? Who supports it, who opposes it, and why? This is one in a series of debates.

Guests: Santos Garcia, Representative of the “Yes to Prop. 50” campaign, Former Mayor, City of Madera, Madera, CA; Hector Barajas, Spokesperson, “No on 50” Campaign, Sacramento, CA.

Latinos: The deciding vote. A new statewide poll among Latino voters in California shows how Latinos could determine whether Proposition 50 passes or fails. The survey reveals voter attitudes toward the measure and their reactions to the ballot language. A pollster and political analyst breaks down the findings.

Guest: Arturo Carmona, Executive Director, Tzunu Strategies, Los Angeles, CA.

Disinformation fuels anxiety. A new opinion poll in California reveals that most adults believe disinformation is more widespread now than during the last presidential election. Many worry that new technologies are making it harder for voters to separate fact from fiction and fear that disinformation could influence the outcome of their local and state elections this year.
