CA Governor's Redistricting Plan
Via Dan
Weintraub, here
is the redistricting by commission plan that the governor is
supporting. The key provision here is that three special masters
(retired judges meeting certain criteria) must insure that "To the
extent possible, district boundaries shall be drawn to ensure a level
of competitiveness that would result in a difference of no more than
seven percentage points between the number of voters in each district
who are registered with the two largest political parties in the State."
