Come on man. Are you just playing dumb, or do you really not understand how these things work? Here's some info that you apparently don't know. California has 52 House seats. 43 of them are Democrats. FOURTY-THREE. What does that mean? It means that almost ALL of California chooses Democrats to represent them, and therefor Proposition 50 is GUARANTEED to pass. Do you really not understand that?

Be honest. pF> Are you accusing California lawmakers of fighting unfairly in an pF> already unfair fight? You didn't answer the question. You dodged it. As I said in the top paragraph, this whole Prop 50 business is authored, championed, promoted, and forced, by Democrats. Please try again to answer me regarding whether or not this is gerrymandering by California Democrats. A 3rd-grader "they started it" answer is not an answer. ....
