Drawing up districts by race, now what could be more Antebellum than that. Is that the Stars and Bars I see on the Big Bear Flag.

Just keep counting and you will get to the number you like ?

So it looks like it will be a food fight to see who gets representation between the African-Americans and Latinos in LA. I’m sure glad that there are no whites involved.

No. The controlling party will Gerrymander districts as much as possible to limit representation of constituents that support the opposition (even if they are a minority in a majority failing state).

Districts should be drawn by computers, not by commissions. An algorithm should be used that will produce districts as compact as possible with equal populations. Period.
No attention should be given to ethnicity, economic level, nor any other demographic.

Normal people expect something like this, adjusted for the major mountains.

It’s not legitimate for government to engage in racism, including with districting.

Yes, we know, that means it’s essential in today’s progressive, even woke state.

DOWN the state continues to go.

I worked for the US Census Bureau collecting data (on the streets/in the neighborhoods) for the 2010 Census. Just from watching from my home this time, I can tell you this last census count was nothing like the last one. It cannot possibly be accurate. In 2019 a census worker went to EVERY house at least one time, in person. The first time we went out we made sure there were actual housing units for EVERY address…you would be surprised how things can change from one 10 year period to the next. Census workers were EVERYWHERE. This past collection time where were they? I have a PO Box, not one piece of mail came to me from the Census Bureau, and not ONE person came to my door. I didn’t even get the Census Survey. Finally, a few days prior to the deadline a man showed up to tell me I had to go online to fill out the info. What happened to people like me only without computers???? The info they wanted was minimal, at best. The whole thing was “dummy downed.” I sat many times in 2019 in people’s homes helping them fill out their questionnaire for the 2010 Census. I know the difference between THAT questionnaire and the one I filled out online for the 2020 Census. I would bet good money on the “fact” many people were NOT counted.

identity politics leads to poverty and dependence

political equity NEVER results in income or wealth equity, frequently the opposite, because it is said economic inequity that delivers the voters
