Story summary

Some rural Republicans in California claim that recent redistricting has left them without political representation. Prior to the changes, California's far northeastern corner was a reliably Republican congressional district. However, after the passage of Proposition 50, this area has been divided into new districts where many voters may now be represented by Democrats in Washington D.C., leaving these Republicans feeling disenfranchised and without a voice in their government.
