Letters: Disenfranchising voters should be a tough sell in state
Briefly

Five targeted districts would disenfranchise a single racial group (white) across all five districts. The remapping of the 41st district could disenfranchise the entire Republican party through imaginative mapping. Replicating partisan gerrymandering like Texas in California would be equally unethical and is characterized as election rigging. Rapid embrace of disenfranchisement by California Democrats is presented as evidence of innate dishonesty and long-term rigging. Disproportionate Democratic representation in the state Legislature and U.S. House is cited as proof of systemic manipulation. The plan is described as violating Proposition 10 and undermining an independent redistricting commission.
But for California to fight corruption with more corruption is equally unethical and unconscionable. This isn't just a mapping project it's election rigging and should be rejected by all honest Californians. We can conclude from how quickly California's elected Democrats embraced the disenfranchisement of millions of California voters that these politicians are innately dishonest and have been and will continue to work to destroy our democracy in any way they can
We can conclude from how quickly California's elected Democrats embraced the disenfranchisement of millions of California voters that these politicians are innately dishonest and have been and will continue to work to destroy our democracy in any way they can all in the name of saving it. The proof that politicians like Lofgren have been rigging California elections for decades is the highly disproportionate percentage of Democrats in the California Legislature and the U.S. House.
