- Proposition 50 would temporarily override maps drawn by an independent commission established by a 2008 voter initiative to benefit Democrats, intensifying partisan control efforts.
- Schwarzenegger criticized the proposal for eroding democratic principles by handing redistricting power back to politicians without public participation, and he promoted the existing independent commission.

- This dispute signals escalating partisan battles over redistricting in California and beyond, with Schwarzenegger preparing to oppose the measure and promote political reform at USC.
