Part 5/13:
In a stark critique, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger described Prop 50 as a "big scam". He argued that it deceptively frames the issue as a fight against Trump and threats to democracy, while simultaneously allowing California legislators to abandon independent redistricting commissions in favor of partisan gerrymandering. Schwarzenegger questioned how undermining an electoral safeguard could ever bolster democracy, emphasizing that such moves threaten the very foundation of fair representation.
