I don’t know how bad gerrymandering is here compared to other states, but California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed legislation that would have required dozens of his state’s largest cities, counties and educational districts to use independent commissions to draw voting districts, dealing a setback to “redistricting reform” advocates.
“We’re frustrated, confused and deeply disappointed,” Jonathan Mehta Stein, executive director of voting rights group California Common Cause, said Monday. He added: “We were hopeful that this was an opportunity for California to show the rest of the nation what it looks like to put gerrymandering behind us.”
Wow, geez, thanks for sharing that. I’m not at all surprised by that fucking maneuver from Newsom. Fox News puts in overtime making him sound like a really cool insane leftist when he’s pretty solidly centrist democrat, and all in favor of bullshit political games / bulldozing the homeless.
