Make It Make Sense
We help explain the Prop. 50 results, what it all means for your life in Southern California and what comes next.
Make It Make Sense is a limited-run newsletter that’s your lifeline for before and after California's Nov. 4, 2025 special election. Who’s donating money? What does it mean? How is that money shaping the conversation and what you, the voter, are hearing about? We’ll dig into all these questions and more. After the election, we’ll let you know the results and what it means for your life in Southern California.
What to expect
You’ll get occasional emails in the lead-up to the Nov. 4 election that will explain what’s on the ballot and the money behind it.
After Nov. 4, we’ll keep tabs on election results and the ballot count. The winning side could be clear within a day or take weeks to determine, depending on how close the vote is. We won’t call the race ourselves, but we’ll know it’s over if one side concedes or the Associated Press calls the race. Once the result is in, we’ll explain what it means for your life and the larger national fight over redistricting. We’ll wrap it all up by the end of November.
