収束ゾーンでのライフ: Life in the Convergence Zone

California's Citizens Redistricting Commission is not subservient to the legislature. That is, the legislature can't override the commission. The structure of the commission is such that it does not appear to be driven to "pack" districts and protect incumbents, and the districts do not seem to have the odd jogs and wiggles that used to happen to (for example) extend tendrils into Sacramento to include a specific precinct that included a specific legislator's home so he would have a "safe" district that extended all the way to the Oregon border.
