Restoring the Competitive Edge: California's Need for Redistricting Reform and the Likely Impact of Proposition 77 (Full Report)
No full textThis report from the Rose Institute of State and Local Government at Claremont McKenna College finds that Proposition 77 would result in a significant increase in competition in California elections. The Institute's research finds that Proposition 77, if enacted by voters, is likely to create ten competitive Congressional districts, four new competitive Assembly districts, and seven new competitive State Senate seats. The number of safe Democratic and Republican seats is likely to be reduced evenly: by five each for Congress and the Assembly, and by four Democratic and three Republican seats in the State Senate. The report also finds that districts drawn under Proposition 77 would create two new Latino voting-age-majority districts; significantly reduce the divisions of counties compared to California's current districts; and greatly increase district compactness. The report goes on to examine the threats to representative democracy under the incumbent-protection gerrymanders of 2001

Redistricting California, 1981: Maps
No full textRedistricting is a process that cries out for better public information. It is this view of the importance of the redistricting process that has led to the preparation of the current volume and its companion, Redistricting California, 1981: Statistics. Official data on the redistricting plans drawn by the State Legislature in September of 1981 are either skimpy or not available at all. The Rose Institute hopes that these volumes of maps and statistics will permit interested persons to understand fully the political and other consequences of the new districts
