I use BallotTrak. Works every time. After I drop it in the postal box, post office sends me an email saying they received it. Then comes an email saying it is sent to CA Voter Precinct. Next comes an email saying they received it and it has been counted! I highly recommend subscribing to this system.
I would NEVER mail-in my ballot or drop it off in one of those "secure" drop-off bins. ("Secured" on behalf of whom?) Good habits should become ingrained. I go directly to the county elections office, and either vote there or drop off my signed and sealed ballot by handing it directly to a window clerk, and watch her time-stamp the ballot. Trust has to begin somewhere. I trust the system once they've received and stamped my ballot.
Thanks Mike, for pointing out that the Texas actions are to comply with a court order. The ads being run in support of Prop 50 are so much more than misleading: they are deceptive. A bizarre example is the letter Noozhawk chose to publish today, that exceeded their stated limit of 250 words, by Robert Sulnick that tried to weave a story connecting voting for Prop 50 with climate change.
The next time someone tells you that Newsom had to Gavinmander the State of California, remind them that the reason Texas had to redraw Congressional Districts is because Biden sued and lost which resulted in Texas having to redraw its lines.
If EVER there was a No Brainer, voting "NO" on Prop 50 is it! No matter who does the gerrymandering, however, there's always a flip-side to this nasty coin. To put more Democrats in a particular district means putting the displaced Republican voters somewhere else. They just don't evaporate or become totally disenfranchised. Southern CA should naturally have a certain number of Red districts. When the dust settles, Republicans under current political conditions in CA, when push comes to shove, will win 15 out of 52 congressional seats in CA. If not in 2026, then in 2028. More voters are NOT registering Democrat and more Democrats are inclined at least occasionally to jump ship and vote Republican. This is happening all over - Red states and Blue states; Red counties and Blue counties. Donald Trump and America First continue to alter the political landscape which seemed as if etched in stone before Trump rode down the escalator to fame and glory in June 2015.
Neglecting, of course, that the Texas redistricting was done at Trumps request to find just 11,000 new votes..., oh, excuse me, to fine 5 new Republican house members, and the court ordered redistricting was because the state already discriminated against minority voters. https://thearp.org/litigation/united-states-v-texas/
I read prop 50 and was happy to vote yes. War between the states carried out in California at the ballot box and in Texas by legislative fiat.
I have said it before, gerrymandering is a political tactic not a political system; the more important issue is that California like most states has a system that enables the creation of a one party state. If one party has 55 percent of the electorate and the the other party has 45 percent and the electorate is spread equally throughout the state, the minority party will send zero people to Sacramento and zero people to Congress. Such a system should not be allowed to continue. Berney
Get your NO on 50 vote mailed in asap!!
I'm worried about mailing any ballot in California. I'm taking mine to the polling place.

Good point. We also need to reinstate Voter ID.
Yes, definitely reinstate voter ID! Thanks

Yeah. I never mail in The PreZ elections. Gonna walk mine in. Thanks
Why anyone would vote for Prop 50:
Because they loved the lockdown.
They hate small businesses.
They hate big businesses.
They think the right to a late-term abortion is the greatest advancement ever for women.
They would like to pay more taxes.
They want their neighborhoods destroyed by “affordable housing” that's never affordable.
They wish all women's sports would be played by men.
They want to be forced to ride bicycles so their elected officials can fly in private jets.
And they are stupid.
They think it's a way to stop Trump.
Excellent (short) list Polly! yes these people ARE STUPID…

Enjoy the show!!!
Prop 50 will disenfranchise several million conservative voters. It is the exact opposite of what Democracy is supposed to be about.

Santa Barbara voted last time to increase taxes while everyone was still struggling financially.
Come on man! You know where their heads are at.
We also need to support the Voter ID into itiative. Contact Carl De Maio to get a petition We need 1 million signatures to get it on the ballot.
Thank you for the clarification on the differences between Texas and California on the issue.

Not so. Was a court order during the Biden admin,2021-2022.
Trump reminded Texas of the Court order. And they made a decision to follow the order.
Just find me five more Republican House Seats....
I shared the truth with you,if you fail to understand then I can't help you anymore
You share your beliefs, that's fine. I doubt their validity but that's fine, too. That's what makes horse races.

https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/who-is-funding-prop-50-california-redistricting/3788198/
Wow. Imagine all that money going to support better causes instead of funding something that's illegal and that we don't need. Sheesh 🙄
Yes,exactly. Could fund Prop 36 which Newsom is refusing to do. He says there no money
