    The New Age gerrymander commission in CA will do ZERO about the gerrymander math —

    half the votes in half the gerrymander districts = about 25 percent ANTI-Democracy minority rule — by the EVIL party hacks.

    REAL minority rule is much, much, much worse due to the party hacks in the primaries picking extremist party hack nominees — who pander to the left / right extremists in such primaries.

    P.R. and A.V. — NO primaries are needed.

    Are Greens, AIP members, Libertarians, and Peace and Freedom members normal people?

    Yes. In fact 4 of the commissioners must be people who aren’t registered Democrats and aren’t registered Republicans.
