Voters in the Golden State passed Proposition 50, a ballot measure that will allow lawmakers to redraw congressional lines ahead of the midterm elections.
The state’s congressional Democrats — including Reps. Jim Costa, Adam Gray, Josh Harder, Doug LaMalfa, Dave Min, Derek Tran and George Whitesides — saw their ratings shift toward more favorable reelection bids following the passage of the redistricting plan, according to the nonpartisan election analyst at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics.
California Republican Reps. Darrell Issa and David Valadao are now rated as being in toss-up races after previously residing in GOP-leaning districts.
Their GOP colleague, Rep. Young Kim, was the only Republican lawmaker in California to receive a safe rating from Sabato’s Crystal Ball.

California only has 9 Republican Congressmen.
The East and West Coasts are lost to the GOP...would be better to allow them to be nuked.
Exposing the California voter fraud aka The Plan.

I thought they were losing 5 house seats, not 11
It’s 6 not 11. More Red Syates are about o redistict.
Some are Incumbents
If the SC does not toss the race based districts the House is gone. Bank it.
Yeah but wasnt the whole point of Prop 50 to make it even with what Texas did, 5 seats..so why is he saying 11(OK my math sucks so my apologies)
No, FL is going to go, and other Red States.
I think people need to stop leaning on “Oh, redistricting!”
Lots of the redrawn lines are creating some “pink” seats. R seats - unless there’s a counter-wave. In which case - it becomes a disaster.
The Virginia state races - I’m talking House of Delegates, not the statewide - makes me VERY nervous this gambit could backfire really badly.
The GOP lost 13/14 (I think one race still up in the air) in the VA state house races. It went from a 49-51 split to a 36/64 or maybe even 35/65 split.
Several GOP districts went blue.
Republicans are about the become a total nonentity in CA.
California can’t be saved it’s a dead fish in the sun democrat owned for years broke stoned and whining.
They have been that way for the last 20 years.
My read is presently 9 GOP House members from Calif.
He declares 1 safe, post redistrict.
That reads 8, but the description is that lines move people around.
Doug LaMalfa won his race by 20+%. That’s safe. Kim won seat by over 10%. Safe.
Five GOP congressmen won by narrow margins. Those are the seats they will target.
Note that this is done by drawing Dem voters into the district. This must not be done anywhere other than overwhelming Dem district, lest they risk that district.
Early estimates that the Dems could get 5 seats out of Calif look pretty good. But some will be close and could be lost.
