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."
