Just a general all-encompasing term that covers all plurality, majority, majority by VAP, majority by actual voters (south valley), coalition, opportunity, and any other type of seat designed so that various minorities can access and participate in govt.

Come to think about it, considering that California is actually (narrowly) a plurality hispanic state these days, I wonder if whites would count as a minority or could ask for white majority seats and claim they are unfairly disadvantaged?

I guess that could be a way for the Republicans to try and make a comeback in the state lol

While most of the discussion has been centered on what the commission may or may not draw, here is a thought I had.

Let's say that, at some point; Democrats get tired of Republican gerrymandering and abolish the commission in order to create a Dem gerrymander of California. How would such a gerrymander look like?

I assume it would be a 52-0 or 53-0 map or would there be 1-2 GOP sinks?
