"What we're looking for
here is balance; what we're looking for here is fairness. It includes Congress.
Why? Because if it's good enough for the state Legislature, it ought to be good
enough for Congress."
Regarding Congress being
included in Redistricting proposal, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuņez
...only unreasonable people - or self-interested politicians - can defend the 2001 bipartisan gerrymander that virtually eliminated competition in
153 legislative and congressional districts, and thus disenfranchised millions of California voters.
--Dan Walters, The Sacramento Bee
A system so calculated to protect politicians and deprive voters of choice is both corrupt and anti-democratic. It also distorts the politicians it protects, forcing them to appeal in the primary election to loyal hard-liners of their party rather than the possibly undecided and party-switching center.
--Los Angeles Times 2-21-05
