Ensure Fair Representation in Congress
This isn’t politics as usual
Donald Trump and Texas Republicans are making an unprecedented power grab to steal congressional seats and rig the 2026 election before voting even begins.
Other Republican states are following suit. They want to steal enough seats to control Congress regardless of how the people vote.
If Californians don’t act now, Donald Trump will seize total power for two more years.

Democracy’s best bet
California has a duty to defend democracy. To do that, we can’t unilaterally disarm or fight with both hands tied behind our backs. When Trump tries to rig elections, we must fight back with every legal tool available.
This measure draws fair maps that represent California’s diverse communities and ensure our voices aren’t silenced by Republican gerrymandering in other states.
- Levels the playing fieldThe Election Rigging Response Act makes sure the 2026 mid-term elections are conducted on a level playing field without an unfair advantage for Republicans.
- Commits to Fair RedistrictingThe Election Rigging Response Act reaffirms California’s commitment to independent redistricting and calls on all states to commit to fair and impartial maps.
- Gives voters the powerThe Election Rigging Response Act puts the power in the hands of the People of California to approve emergency congressional district maps.
- Is fair and proportionalThe Election Rigging Response Act provides emergency maps go into effect ONLY if Republicans move forward with their power grab.
- Is temporaryThese maps expire in 2030. The Election Rigging Response Act preserves California’s award-winning redistricting reforms and reaffirms the California Redistricting Commission’s authority to draw congressional districts after the next census.
