The commission was formed due to the fact that us peasants voted for it. I know you public relations parasites & the politicians that you feed off of just hate it when us meager citizens make decisions on our own, especially when we try to tell you guys how the state should be run. I guess they just didnt pay you quite enough before that election. Maybe if they tossed a couple hundred thousand more at you, you would have worked harder to mislead & brainwash a few more of your “Useful Idiots”, then that initiative wouldnt have passed on the first place. If they learned their lesson last time, you should be well compensated to lie to the voters this time.

The whole reason why this was passed is because the way they rigged the districts, it was impossible to boot the idiots out of office. We are much better off having the taxpayers draw up the districts because us normal tax paying citizens dont give a damn about the political makeup of a district. Now atleast we wont end up with gerrymandered districts that make no geographical sense. There is no reason why a district should include a long skinny section that is a freeway with no residents, just so a town 50 miles away from the rest of the district will be included to make sure the demographic of the district is 75% of a certain party, so they are sure it is a safe district, no matter how bad the representatives are.

You’re right. I fixed the story accordingly.

Or public officials that we can boot out of office?

The Prop 11 process IS political. It gives seats by party — 3 of each. And then appeals to a politically-appointed court.

Besides, these are CONGRESSIONAL seats, not legislative seats you’re talking about.
