Californians Who Are Fighting the Small Number of California Legislators File Amended Complaint

Last year, some California individuals, elected local officials, and organizations, filed a federal lawsuit, arguing that because the California legislative districts are so populous, ordinary people effectively have no ability to influence their own state legislators. The State Senate districts have approximately 1,000,000 population; Assembly district 500,000.

On March 20, the plaintiffs filed this amended Complaint. The U.S. District Court Judge who has this case, which is called Citizens for Fair Representation v Padilla, e.d., 2:17cv-973, found fault with the first complaint but let the plaintiffs file an amended complaint.

    Much worse before 1964.

    Much, much worse primary math which nominates the extremists who later get elected in the rigged districts.

    Due to top 2 —

    the math is worse than 25 pct in control —

    since many New Age D or R voters will NOT vote for a New Age R or D candidate — aka non-votes — NO lesser of 2 evils.
