Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger called on voters to reject the state’s redistricting ballot measure, calling it a proposition “against democracy.”

Schwarzenegger vehemently opposed the redistricting proposal, spearheaded by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), set to hit statewide ballots in a special election on Nov. 4. Californians will voice their opinions on whether to redistrict the state’s congressional map in an effort that would give Democrats five more of the state’s 52 House seats and a 48-4 advantage.
