Prop 50 latest: Vote results could divide Lodi into three congressional districts

In Lodi, a city of about 68,000 in Northern California, voters are facing big changes if Proposition 50 passes. The statewide redistricting measure would divide Lodi into three congressional districts—7, 8, and 9—split by the intersection of Kettleman Lane and Church Street. Local leaders formally opposed the proposal, warning it could weaken community representation. Despite that, many voters said national politics drove them to the polls. The debate captures how statewide measures like Prop 50 can reshape local political boundaries and identity.
