The Ventura County Star of Ventura, California, has this interesting article on how Californians can go about applying to be on the elite commission that will draw state legislative district boundaries in 2011. Thanks to Rick Hasen’s ElectionLawBlog for the link. Four of the fourteen commissioners must be people who are not, and have not, been registered Republicans or registered Democrats.
Nice, hopefully all 50 States can have “citizen commissions” draw the districts.
Nice explanation, but no info on where we can apply when the time comes.
Since Prop 11 was a bipartisan joke, third parties need to swamp the application process to make sure our voice is heard so this joke doesn’t get any worse, plus so we can report back to the voters the inside baseball of the fiasco.
