"Kudos to reporter Grant Stinger for an eye-opening article about the gerrymandering issue. In the five key districts that are targeted, only one racial group (white) is disenfranchised in all five districts. The remapping of the 41st district is particularly outrageousand suggests the entire Republican party could be disenfranchised with imaginative mapping. Could California voters possibly approve such a plan?"
"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 - all in the name of saving it."
Five targeted congressional districts would disenfranchise voters, with white voters disenfranchised in all five. The remapping of the 41st district is called particularly outrageous and could disenfranchise the entire Republican Party through imaginative mapping. The plan is characterized as election rigging that is unethical and unconscionable even if legally permissible. Rapid embrace of the plan by elected Democrats is presented as evidence of a pattern of rigging and aligns with disproportionate Democratic representation in the California Legislature and U.S. House. The action undermines Proposition 10's independent redistricting commission and is framed as a slap at fair play.
