2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: California

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

Anyone knows what happens is hypothetically the commission can’t agree?

The court draws it

I actually think Dems hope the commission doesn't agree, since the CA SC has a 5D-1R-1I majority.

If Republicans continue improving with the Hispanic vote, couldn't this map have like 20 R's by the end of the decade?

Did California Hispanics even move that far right? Most of these seats are quite overwhelmingly D so I'd think the trend would have to accelerate quite a bit for there to be a double digit gain. Anyway, if that comes to pass the only real way it could have been prevented is via de facto racial gerrymandering, so whatever.

As a Californian I can say 20 Rs will never happen at the current rate.

This is interesting. They kept LGBT communities united in districts wherever possible.

If LGBT qualifies as a COI, you can create a COI for literally any reason, thereby negating the practical power of the term.

If LGBT people don't fit your definition of a COI, I'd love to hear what does.

Homophobes, presumably.
