Map
The map on this page is incorrect, as is the source that it originates from. The map indicates that District 42 is contained almost entirely w/in Los Angeles County, as well as nearby Avalon island, which is incorrect. In fact, the District 42 resides entirely in Riverside County, which is many miles southeast of where the map on this page shows that it would be. You can see the actual location of California's 42nd Congressional District on Google Maps. Jmg999 (talk) 09:42, 15 November 2022 (UTC)


 * You can also see the map you linked to literally below the infobox. The map in the infobox is, as the caption states, used for the 2022 elections. — twotwofourtysix (talk &#124;&#124; edits) 06:29, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I see what the problems are here. First, I didn't see the same map I'd linked to below the map in the infobox, b/c I was looking at the map in the infobox and comparing it to the information in the first two paragraphs of the article.  Those didn't match up, so I checked the map on Wikimedia Commons, and it showed the map in the infobox to be in effect from 2023-2033.  This only served to further confuse the issue, b/c the note under the infobox, as you'd mentioned, stated that those areas of the map were used in the 2022 election, but it also stated that they were the "district boundaries since 2023."  Obviously, that sentence makes no sense in that tense, and the two sentences conflict w/ one another.  I therefore decided to investigate further, and I found the other district boundaries, the boundaries mentioned in the article, on Google Maps.
 * After reading your comment, however, I further researched the matter, and I found The New York Times ' vote-tracking results for California's 42nd Congressional District. It showed the same map as in the infobox.  I then found a map on govtrack.us w/ the following text, "Don’t use this map for the 2022 election. The map on this page from the 2020 election is still the correct map for checking who represents you in Congress now, and it will remain correct for that purpose until the 2022 election’s winners take office on January 3, 2023. To learn about 2022 election candidates, you will need another map that has been updated for 2022 redistricting, which we do not have."
 * Finally, I checked ballotpedia.org, and they had both maps: The map I'd linked to, which was California's 42nd Congressional District prior to the 2020 redistricting cycle and the map in the infobox, which was California's 42nd Congressional District after the 2020 redistricting cycle. Based on all of this, voting for this district took place w/in the boundaries outlined on the map in the infobox, although that is not California's 42nd Congressional District until January 3, 2023.  The 42nd District is still contained w/in Riverside County until that time.  Essentially, the first couple of paragraphs should mention this information, since the depth of it is contained w/in the article, and the two sentences under the infobox map should be clarified to make sense.

 * What you said above should be apparent from the caption of the two maps, although I agree that a short explanation would be nice. — twotwofourtysix (talk &#124;&#124; edits) 14:43, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
