The panel consists of 3 retired judges that are hand picked my the politians [there wasnt a provision for the panel to be impartial that I was aware of]and while they are not directly obligated to redraw the lines to the satisfaction of the polititians that picked them, it is feared they will. Just like the Electors of the Electoral college are not bound by any laws to vote for the party they represent's canadate, they in the past have almost or have entirely voted party lines.
Also the panel of 3 judges picked to redistrict the state in theory could all be picked from the same area and screw over the other areas of the state. Also redistricting in California is not due for another 5 years and it is supsicious that there is a need to do so other than to favor it in the opposite parties behalf. |

Hmm. I thought the idea was to have an impartial panel evaluate the districts, specifically to remove the process from the politicians. Because the way it is now in most states, whichever party has the majority whenever it is time for a redrawing (or in the case of Texas, when they decide to redraw for kicks and giggles) takes full advantage of their power and redraws for their own benefit (Texas again being the most recent obnoxious example). How would the panel be controlled by the political parties? What am I missing? |

The big beefs with Prop 77 was that basically every time the political party changed hands the districts would most likely be redrawn to favor the party in power. The citizens would not have a chance to dispute the redrawn lines before they went into effect.
To me, it would be like the President restacking the Supreme Court every time the party incharge changed hands to favor their political doings. |

I will admit that my specific information is limited here behind the cheese curtain, but it strikes me that anything we can do to take the districting duties away from the self-same people who are being elected in those districts is a good idea. Witness DeLay's recent Texas gerrymander. Why did you (and obviously most Calis) oppose this measure? |

I guess "rational" is a matter of personal opinion.
I was happy with that measure not passing as well. |

Californians shouldn't brag too much, after they defeated the proposal for rational Congressional districts...

Must be nice to live in a state full of half intelligent people. Ohio
just milfed our chances of cleaning up the idiocy and corruption in the
Taft regime for a while. I seriously don't know how 2-5 could have
failed that bad. Whatever, I'm starting to believe this state deserves
everything it gets. I just wish we didn't have so many electorial votes.

Californians says "Mind your own business to Government"
Voters narrowly defeated Proposition 73, which bars abortions for minors without parental notification. The state Republican Party promoted Schwarzenegger's endorsement of the measure among evangelicals and other religious conservatives in a bid to boost turnout of voters who would back the rest of his agenda. Also Arnold Schwarzenegger put in $7.2 million of his own money into yesterdays election where everyone of the ballot measures failed to pass. That brings his total personal spending on political endeavors to $25 million since he ran for governor in the 2003 recall race. I wish I had 25 million to just throw away. Edited by Hades |
