SCRAMBLED DISTRICTS

The Redistricting Commission released its report today.

The first draft.

Political earthquake roils California delegation

Earthquake is a good description I suppose. But the effect of ending our highly gerrymandered districts may not be as radical as all that.

I do not know how our district went but I suspect there will not be a big change. We are not particularly gerrymandered for the congressional district but are a bit more skewed for the legislature.

All in all, it appears that we will have a bluer delegation. More Democrats.

I wrote about the Commission earlier. It is non partisan made up of a number of volunteer citizens who passed through a rather rigorous process of selection. It is not likely that the report or its final report will be challenged but then this is a contentious state. Litigious. Time will tell.
