Under pressure from president Donald TrumpThe dominant republicans of Texas are Attempt to reassign state congress areas And thus increase the number of places held in GOP after the middle.
Republicans have a majority with paper in the House of Representatives. Trump is obviously fearing that Democrats can win control next year, and he wants redistribution in the middle of decades to make the congress regime less likely.
Meanwhile, Governor Gavin News and legislative leaders want to oppose Further, guerrilla efforts in Texas from Gerimandering of California Congress areas To neutralize what Texas does. This is a slight reminiscent Spy Vs. Spy Comic Strip in Mad Magazine These baby clouds may recall or perhaps the classic Wile E. Coyote carications and cartoons.
However, there is nothing ridiculous about tapping – in the lust of guerrilla political power – a bizarrely democratic notion that congress regions must fairly represent the characteristics and values of their voters.
NEWSOM wants the legislature to Place a vote measure in November This will cancel this – according to him – the constitutional requirement of the state to carry out a redistribution once a decade by an independent committee.
“This is a reason and a consequence that is triggered on the basis of what is happening or is not happening in Texas,” Newsom said this week. “I hope they do the right thing and if they do, then there will be no reason to have to go forward.”
However, this is another chapter in a tortured story of redistribution in CaliforniaS
Following the 1970 census, Republican governor Ronald Reagan and democratic legislative leaders intervened for redistribution and the State Supreme Court intervened, creating their own mechanism for the preparation of new maps.
A decade later, after the 1980 census, democratic governor Jerry Brown, legislative leaders such as assembly chairman Willie Brown and Phil Burton, leader of the State Congress Delegation, attracted a very strange-looking one Politically discharged areas – One of whom Burton described as “my contribution to contemporary art.”
Republicans convinced voters to dismiss the cards through a referendum. However, the Supreme Court of the State ruled that contested cards were used for the 1982 elections. After these elections, Brown and the legislators simply accepted slightly changed versions.
Republicans again tried to cancel the Democrats cards through a vote initiative but The Supreme Court of the State overturned itStating that the State Constitution restricted redistribution to one decade. President Brown publicly thanked Sister Rose and Sumpms, citing Chief Judge Rose Bird, one of Bird’s several reasons was removed by voters several years later.
Following the 1990 census, Republican governor Pete Wilson and democratic legislators were again struck and once again the Supreme Court was embarking on.
Once Davis was recalled, heir Arnold Schwarzenegger held a campaign to reform the redistribution, Supported by Charles Mander, Jr.A very rich physicist and son of the famous businessman and investor Charlie Munger. Voters have passed their 2008 initiative to create Independent committee For legislative places and a measure for 2010 to expand its powers in congress regions, despite the opposition of the two countries.
The Commission attracted maps after the 2010 and 2020 census. Both plans helped Democrats achieve super masters in legislative houses and the congress delegation – thanks to a large extent to demographic tendencies and reducing the registration of GOP voters.
Today, Republicans have only nine of the 53rd places at the state congress and Newsom is ready to halve it. He says the revised areas will be in force until the Commission is revived after the 2030 census.
However, because of the almost non -existent population growth, California can lose up to four seats After the 2030 census, after seizing more power over redistribution, would the Democrats really be ready to return to the committee system they had ever despised?
