Opponents of the Democratic gerrymander start casting blame for defeat at the ballot. Republicans appear to have all but abandoned their efforts to defeat a Democratic gerrymander of California’s House districts one week before it goes before voters.
As Democrats pummel the state with Yes on 50 advertising, the Republican side of the battle has gone quiet. Major GOP donors and party leaders have effectively vanished from the front lines.
The biggest funder of the campaign to defeat Proposition 50, Charles Munger Jr., has not contributed any significant cash to the cause in weeks, and his Protect Voters First committee cut its weekly spending from more than $4 million to less than $300. The other opposition committee, Stop Sacramento’s Power Grab, spent $155,000 on advertising last week, compared to $3.8 million from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Yes on 50 campaign. 47's putting the National Guard in L.A. does not sit well members of both parties and attempt to do sweeps of the Bay Area flopped and protesters blocked Coast Guard Station Alameda. The California Republican Party is pissed that 47 sat out the campaign as well.
The "No on 50" campaign is being out spent and what few ads they did put up did were pitiful to watch. Very low level unknown Republicans from parts of California that very people even know about. The one Black Man they used fizzled out when he decided he wanted more money for his ad. The party that gave the championship Free Trader Ronald Reagan both the Governorship and the White House had become a disgrace.
