trump and his GOP minions have changed the rules of the game - is it your opinion that we should adhere to rules that don’t apply anymore? That’s my take on this whole episode. Thus the position I have taken and the funds I have donated for the yes on 50 campaign. Take care and stay safe
Thanks for the take! Yes, it is temporary but what does that say about what this is--we will only disenfranchise people for a few cycles then go back to appropriate lines?
Also, I think a lot of people are focused on the immediate effect: countering Texas' 5 seat grab. But this is not where it would end. Another Republican state will then gerrymander to gain more Republican seats to counter this, then a Democratic state, then a Republican state again...its a slippery slope and it won't end with CA countering this one move. It ends with hundreds of thousands of voters being disenfranchised in a tit for tat political gerrymandering game.
Respectfully disagree- must play by the new rules - Initiative states that it would revert back to independent redistricting.
