Voters in California overwhelmingly oppose Gov Newsom's plan to gerrymander the State

Since when did Gav give a shite what CA voters thought?

I think you are correct

He doesn't, but I think they need a referendum on the plan.

This is misleading, if not straight up false.

64% polling is voters support for maintaining the independent redistricting commission. That part is accurate and all well and good in a vacuum.

But what’s actually going to be asked in November is a different question. “Do you support redistricting in response to what Texas is doing?”

That answer won’t be anywhere near 64%. Esp in the state of California.

What they’re voting on in November and what this poll reflect are not the same thing. If you can’t see that you’re just asking to be caught flat footed.

I mean does that even pass your BS detector test? A +20 dark blue state is going to vote 2-1 AGAINST becoming more of a Dem stronghold? Come on, I have so many bridges to sell you.

If Texas does it, absolutely. If roles were reversed so would you. Eye for an eye.

What I actually support (just like every other sane reasonable person) neither state should do it. Anti-democratic to its core.

California doesn’t abide by what the voters want.

If they want certain person in a certain position it happens

It passes my BS detector because California voters have overwhelmingly supported the independent redistricting commission the past 20-years. Newscum’s plan is only popular among the party faithful and not rank and file voters.

From politico in reference to what they’re voting on:

“California Democrats have also promised not to do away with the state’s independent redistricting commission entirely. Instead, they plan to ask voters to approve a constitutional amendment that would put new maps approved by the Legislature in effect for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 election cycles, according to legislative sources familiar with the draft measure. The independent panel would then resume its role as the state’s line-drawer after the 2030 census.”

Did the poll account for this? Somehow I doubt it. This is strictly about combating Trump trying to steal seats in Texas. There’s no way it’s going 2-1 against In California in a midterm.

But whatever, guess we’ll find out!
