‘Yes on Prop 50’ campaign vastly outspends opponents as Election Day nears

With a national fundraising blitz in full swing and Election Day just around the corner, Democrats stumping for Proposition 50 have far out-raised and out-spent their opponents — even though a California megadonor with Republican ties single-handedly spent $30 million to defeat it.

The serious spending imbalance is one reason why analysts expect Prop. 50 to cruise to victory on Nov. 4. Democrats from Gov. Gavin Newsom to former President Barack Obama and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are imploring voters to sign off on the plan, which would temporarily toss the state’s independently-drawn congressional districts.

Replacing them would be new maps drawn by Democrats designed to send more members of their party to Congress and perhaps give themselves a better shot at winning the U.
