Schwartzenegger and Gerrymandering
Governor Schwarzenegger is advocating one of my pet reform issues: redistricting. He wants a panel of retired judges to draw up the congressional and state legislature districts in California to make the races more competetive. Iowa already uses a third party to do this.
The New York Times reports: Mr. Schwarzenegger, a Republican, noted that of the 153 seats in the California Congressional delegation and Legislature that were on the ballot in November, not one changed party hands.
"What kind of a democracy is that?" he asked in his address.
