Are the lines drawn by majority vote? If so, the rats get to write whatever boundaries they want. If this is the case, what will happen is the computer guys for the rats will give the D’s on the committee a plan. The D’s will trade some favors and ask the computer guys to make some adjustments to favor the guys that gave them the favors. The computer guys redo it. Then they call a vote.

If they have to get one R vote to pass a plan, then something fairly balanced should come out of the process. But if it’s majority vote, this doesn’t seem like something activists should spend a lot of time on.

This is going to be bad. Elections have consequences, and California's redistricting will be controlled by leftists. Either the 3-2 commission or under the old setup with leftist legislatures and leftist governors.

Luckily we can make some of it back in North Carolina, Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Arizona.

I may be wrong, but I thought a citizens committee was supposed to draw district lines.

Two things. Grover Norquist is an Muslim symp. Second, the time for "worrying" about state reapportionment was last November, when the people of California elected - or better "re-elected" their trainwreck of a legislature.

It's too late now, unless you live in California. And it's pretty much too late for them, also. They should have been thinking about that during the last election. The district lines will be in effect for the next election, and for the four cycles that follow.

The dye is cast every ten years and the time for voters to be concerned about their incumbent legislators choosing their voters (instead of the other way around) is during the election year when the census is taken.
