All, but fellow CAers especially, please be aware: The CA legislature has passed Newsom's plan, and we will be moving forward with a special election on November 4th.

I really think this is not the way. The right thing would be bi-partisan agreement at the federal level to block all redistricting until the next census. If we had a real Supreme Court the way would be to outlaw gerrymandering. This is white supremacy's ugly last gasp before demographic change.

As long as it doesn't affect your district, of course. Have you looked at the maps closely? Since citizens have to be put into districts that make no sense just to fight... disenfranchising other citizens... And if Republicans get in power, ignoring fair rules is now a legit move. Great idea.

Yup. They needed to do it by Friday. It was the SoS's deadline to get on the November ballot.
