3. Will Latinos benefit from Proposition 77?

Rose Institute:

In Southern California, Proposition 77 will likely create two new majority-Latino voting age population (VAP) congressional districts. The first is in the San Fernando Valley, in current CD 28, which is likely to increase from 49 percent Latino VAP to 66 percent. The second is in San Diego, where the retired judges are likely to unite the heavily Latino "Barrio Logan" neighborhood of San Diego with currently neighboring CD 50, increasing its Latino VAP from 49 percent to 56 percent. The number of districts controlled by Latino voters is unlikely to change at the Assembly and State Senate levels.
