Full title: North [CA] state residents take a page from minority activists’ playbook and push for better representation in state government. ___

o rural residents have a constitutional right to reasonable political representation, or is that reserved only for big-city residents? That question is at the heart of a recent lawsuit that — although unquestionably a long shot — could shake up California’s political map.

The issue garnered fair-minded coverage from the New York Times, which captured the gist of the problem in a spot-on headline: “California’s Far North Deplores ‘Tyranny’ of the Urban Majority.” It covers an issue this writer has reported on for the Spectator: residents in the sparsely populated, yet geographically massive, “north state” have virtually no say over the regulations, taxes, and land-use policies that govern their lives.

Rather change it up to ‘voting tabulation on a county by county level’. Let the cities\pop centers continue to vote\rig all they want....won’t mean a hill of beans.

Isn’t that what the Constitution was all about? Protecting the minority from the majority??
