California should give up non-partisan redistricting. No sense in unilaterally disarming,

Don't worry. If VRA2 is not repealed, the new Department of Justice will make sure that whites get proper VRA districts in California.

There's no history of white people in California or much of anywhere else having systematic trouble voting or getting their interests represented in Congress. But you know that.

That is an interesting case to make given that many whites did not even have a candidate to vote for in the Senate.

With anybody else I’d be shocked that this argument was actually being explicitly made, but with you I’m not somehow.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Traditionally the conservative position on VRA districts was that racial bloc voting by minorities was undesirable and should sooner or later fade from the political scene, not that it would be great if whites started doing it too. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that the brute reality of Donald Trump's America has changed that calculus somewhat.

But, to the original point, if the Democrats decide to blast Kern County into smithereens and connect numerous districts to Los Angeles County, your statement would be quite untrue.

That would never happen with the commission drawing the lines. The commission might be scammed at the margins, but that is about it. NY as well now has laws that make egregious gerrymandering illegal, except perhaps a bipartisan gerrymander if the legislature decides to ignore the intent of the law to the maximum extent it can without the courts tossing the map out.

How many states have split control? There is also a good chance Rauner loses in 2018. Who will be elected Governor of Nevada in 2018? It is hard to determine what happens in 2018.
