A gay Democratic congressional candidate in Southern California is opposed to the redistricting measure voters will decide on in November. Immigration attorney CURTIS MORRISON plans to vote no on Proposition 50.

“It compromises democracy in a way we are not going to be able to undo,” Morrison told the Bay Area Reporter in a recent phone interview.

Explaining he views it as gerrymandering, which he opposes seeing a political party use to draw districts that favor its candidates, Morrison said as of August 26 that he would not be supporting Prop 50. But he also said he doesn’t plan to campaign against it.

“I am not personally sold on redistricting yet, but I am only one vote,” said Morrison.
