I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"title": "Harmer Concedes House Race to McNerney",
"headTitle": "News Fix | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.harmerforcongress.com/\">David Harmer\u003c/a> released a letter Saturday (Dec. 4) conceding the 11th Congressional District race to incumbent \u003ca href=\"http://mcnerney.house.gov/\">Rep. Jerry McNerney\u003c/a>. Harmer, a Republican with a strong Tea Party tinge, at one point in the fall looked like a good bet to unseat McNerney as part of the GOP wave that threw out the Democrats' House majority. An October poll showed him up by 6 points. But ballots counted on election day showed the race nearly a dead heat, with McNerney pulling ahead by just over 100 votes (out of nearly a quarter-million cast) early the morning of Nov. 3. Harmer fell further and further behind during the counting of late mail-in and provisional ballots, and the\u003ca href=\"http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/us-congress/district/11/\" target=\"_blank\"> final tally\u003c/a> shows him losing by a single percentage point, 48-47. (The other 5 percent? That went to American Independent Party candidate \u003ca href=\"http://constitutionpartyca.org/node/504\" target=\"_blank\">David Christensen\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's been a slow-motion quality to Harmer's embrace of the result. \u003ca href=\"http://www.rollcall.com/news/-200445-1.html\" target=\"_blank\">McNerney claimed victory\u003c/a> Nov. 10 after an analysis of uncounted ballots showed it was nearly impossible for Harmer to close the gap, which then stood at about 1,700 votes. By last Tuesday, the state deadline for final counts, the gap had grown to 2,658 votes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, that wasn't enough to get Harmer to concede. In interviews last Thursday, he said he needed a couple days to go over numbers from the district's individual precincts to make sure there were no \"anomalies\" lurking in the data. However, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/nov05election/detail?entry_id=78289\" target=\"_blank\">he admitted\u003c/a> to the San Francisco Chronicle's Joe Garofoli it was unlikely the result would change. Yes, he told Garofoli, he thought a concession would be coming:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"... As befitting a San Ramon resident from the middle of youth soccer nirvana, a youth soccer analogy:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\" 'During my soccer coaching career,' Harmer said, 'it was a worthy tradition when the game was over to shake hands not just with the opposing players, but their coaches and the rest and saying, \"Good game.\" I'll do that, I'm sure,' he said.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And, Garofoli reported Saturday, that sporting \"handshake\" happened more quickly than Harmer let on it would. Harmer told the Chron's reporter, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/nov05election/detail?entry_id=78374\" target=\"_blank\">via text from a movie theater\u003c/a>, that he had called McNerney on Friday to concede.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his concession announcement, Harmer explained why he waited until now to publicly acknowledge his defeat: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\"Having invested nearly two years of full-time and uncompensated effort in this endeavor, I was ready for a verdict on November 2. I knew that the race would be close, but I intended and expected to win. I was prepared and eager to serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"On the other hand, had we clearly lost, my disappointment would have been tempered by relief at returning to the normal routines of private life. What I hadn't anticipated was neither of the above -- a month of uncertainty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you've given your all without attaining success, is any temptation more seductive than to quit?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can report firsthand that the Harmer family had already had enough.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.harmerforcongress.com/\">David Harmer\u003c/a> released a letter Saturday (Dec. 4) conceding the 11th Congressional District race to incumbent \u003ca href=\"http://mcnerney.house.gov/\">Rep. Jerry McNerney\u003c/a>. Harmer, a Republican with a strong Tea Party tinge, at one point in the fall looked like a good bet to unseat McNerney as part of the GOP wave that threw out the Democrats' House majority. An October poll showed him up by 6 points. But ballots counted on election day showed the race nearly a dead heat, with McNerney pulling ahead by just over 100 votes (out of nearly a quarter-million cast) early the morning of Nov. 3. Harmer fell further and further behind during the counting of late mail-in and provisional ballots, and the\u003ca href=\"http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/us-congress/district/11/\" target=\"_blank\"> final tally\u003c/a> shows him losing by a single percentage point, 48-47. (The other 5 percent? That went to American Independent Party candidate \u003ca href=\"http://constitutionpartyca.org/node/504\" target=\"_blank\">David Christensen\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's been a slow-motion quality to Harmer's embrace of the result. \u003ca href=\"http://www.rollcall.com/news/-200445-1.html\" target=\"_blank\">McNerney claimed victory\u003c/a> Nov. 10 after an analysis of uncounted ballots showed it was nearly impossible for Harmer to close the gap, which then stood at about 1,700 votes. By last Tuesday, the state deadline for final counts, the gap had grown to 2,658 votes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, that wasn't enough to get Harmer to concede. In interviews last Thursday, he said he needed a couple days to go over numbers from the district's individual precincts to make sure there were no \"anomalies\" lurking in the data. However, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/nov05election/detail?entry_id=78289\" target=\"_blank\">he admitted\u003c/a> to the San Francisco Chronicle's Joe Garofoli it was unlikely the result would change. Yes, he told Garofoli, he thought a concession would be coming:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"... As befitting a San Ramon resident from the middle of youth soccer nirvana, a youth soccer analogy:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\" 'During my soccer coaching career,' Harmer said, 'it was a worthy tradition when the game was over to shake hands not just with the opposing players, but their coaches and the rest and saying, \"Good game.\" I'll do that, I'm sure,' he said.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And, Garofoli reported Saturday, that sporting \"handshake\" happened more quickly than Harmer let on it would. Harmer told the Chron's reporter, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/nov05election/detail?entry_id=78374\" target=\"_blank\">via text from a movie theater\u003c/a>, that he had called McNerney on Friday to concede.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his concession announcement, Harmer explained why he waited until now to publicly acknowledge his defeat: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\"Having invested nearly two years of full-time and uncompensated effort in this endeavor, I was ready for a verdict on November 2. I knew that the race would be close, but I intended and expected to win. I was prepared and eager to serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"On the other hand, had we clearly lost, my disappointment would have been tempered by relief at returning to the normal routines of private life. What I hadn't anticipated was neither of the above -- a month of uncertainty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you've given your all without attaining success, is any temptation more seductive than to quit?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can report firsthand that the Harmer family had already had enough. But we recognized that the campaign wasn't ours alone; it belonged to everyone who had invested time, money, reputation, or heart in it. I was a spokesman for tens of thousands of volunteers, donors, and voters, the advocate of their views and values, and the trustee of their political hopes. They merited my best efforts to ensure that their voices were heard and their votes counted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Harmer said in last week's interviews that among his first priorities, now that he's not going to the House, is to find a job and get his family's finances in order. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Money talks, and the authority is hearing voices, too—specifically, the commanding tones of the Federal Railroad Administration. Earlier this fall, FRA not only gave California the good news that it was \u003ca href=\"http://www.cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=9376\" target=\"_blank\">awarding $715 million\u003c/a> to help get high-speed rail rolling, but also that \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/san-mateo-county/ci_16523750\" target=\"_blank\">the money would need to be spent in the San Joaquin Valley\u003c/a>. (Why there? Despite the wealth of published material, from the agency itself and from some decent reporters, we don't see explicit reasoning beyond the following speculation: there's less political opposition to high-speed rail in the Valley than in the Bay Area; it would be cheaper and less complicated to build the initial segment in the Valley than in the heavily populated Los Angeles-San Diego corridor; and, with the Valley's economy in a prolonged deep slump because of the collapse of housing construction, it needs a big economic shot in the arm.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal rail people have left it to California, though, to decide exactly where in the San Joaquin Valley the first segment should be built. The two choices were a piece from Merced to Fresno, about 60 miles, or one from Fresno to Bakersfield, 110 miles or so. Earlier this week, the High-Speed Rail Authority staff announced a choice: a hybrid segment from Borden, a hamlet on the outskirts of Madera, 20 miles north of Fresno, to Corcoran, 45 miles south of Fresno. The authority's board, which faces an end-of-the-year deadline to get its hands on the new federal grant, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=9435\" target=\"_blank\">will consider the recommendation\u003c/a> at its board meeting next Thursday, Dec. 2. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Rep. Dennis Cardoza's reaction to the segment proposal is anything to go by, the rail board is going to hear from some angry people. Cardoza, a Democrat whose 18th Congressional District includes Merced—a town left out of the rail authority's proposal—\u003ca href=\"http://cardoza.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=87§iontree=6,87&itemid=699\" target=\"_blank\">issued a press release\u003c/a> accusing the authority of a \"bait and switch\" and demanding an investigation into its route-selection process. (Cardoza's not the only one who's upset. See the California High Speed Rail Blog: \u003ca href=\"http://www.cahsrblog.com/2010/11/merced-hsr-supporters-angry-at-construction-proposal/\" target=\"_blank\">\"Merced HSR Supporters Angry at Construction Proposal\u003c/a>.\") \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cardoza's rant also raises a point that we wonder about, too: Who's going to ride a line with one end approximately in the middle of nowhere—sorry, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borden,_California\" target=\"_blank\">Borden\u003c/a>; nothing personal—and the other end anchored in \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityofcorcoran.com/\" target=\"_blank\">a town\u003c/a> known to the outside world mostly as the home of \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Facilities_Locator/COR.html\" target=\"_blank\">a state prison\u003c/a>? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer may in fact be \"no one.\" The laws and regulations that control the federal funding for the project require that the cash go into projects with \"operational independence\" or \"independent utility.\" In the words of a High-Speed Rail Authority staff report on the new segment, \"A project is considered to have operational independence 'if, upon being implemented, it will provide tangible and measurable benefits, even if no additional investments in the same service are made.' \" We're not experts, but that sounds like a working railroad to us; we can just imagine the Valley landscape blurring past on that 66-mile, 20-minute trip from greater Madera to Corcoran. (The staff report also notes that the new segment would pass muster under federal law if all it does is enhance Amtrak service. Currently, the section in question is part of Amtrak California's \u003ca href=\"http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?c=AM_Route_C&pagename=am%2FLayout&cid=1241245650084\" target=\"_blank\">San Joaquin\u003c/a> train from Oakland to Bakersfield.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But maybe it'll just be a fancy set of tracks, waiting to get connected to something else. That's the conclusion you come to when you hear what \u003ca href=\"http://www.cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/Roelof_van_Ark.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Roelof van Ark\u003c/a>, the authority's CEO, has to say about it. Earlier this month, when the federal government's Central-Valley-first requirement was disclosed, Mike Rosenberg of the San Mateo Times quoted van Ark on the importance of the first segment (emphasis ours): \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\" 'We have to build a system that is going to be operable as soon as possible and that means\u003cbr>\nbuilding many miles of track that are connected to each other,' van Ark said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But a Central Valley segment will have no operational significance -- van Ark said major population centers need to be linked and the agency will not bother starting service there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\" '\u003cstrong>\u003cem>We will not have trains when we build this first segment\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>,\"' he said.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If they build this first segment as planned, who will come? Maybe we'll hear some more concrete answers at the rail authority's board meeting next week. \u003c/p>\n\n",

Dennis Cardoza's reaction to the segment proposal is anything to go by, the rail board is going to hear from some angry people. Cardoza, a Democrat whose 18th Congressional District includes Merced—a town left out of the rail authority's proposal—\u003ca href=\"http://cardoza.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=87§iontree=6,87&itemid=699\" target=\"_blank\">issued a press release\u003c/a> accusing the authority of a \"bait and switch\" and demanding an investigation into its route-selection process. (Cardoza's not the only one who's upset. See the California High Speed Rail Blog: \u003ca href=\"http://www.cahsrblog.com/2010/11/merced-hsr-supporters-angry-at-construction-proposal/\" target=\"_blank\">\"Merced HSR Supporters Angry at Construction Proposal\u003c/a>.\") \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(The staff report also notes that the new segment would pass muster under federal law if all it does is enhance Amtrak service. Currently, the section in question is part of Amtrak California's \u003ca href=\"http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?c=AM_Route_C&pagename=am%2FLayout&cid=1241245650084\" target=\"_blank\">San Joaquin\u003c/a> train from Oakland to Bakersfield.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But maybe it'll just be a fancy set of tracks, waiting to get connected to something else. That's the conclusion you come to when you hear what \u003ca href=\"http://www.cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/Roelof_van_Ark.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Roelof van Ark\u003c/a>, the authority's CEO, has to say about it. Earlier this month, when the federal government's Central-Valley-first requirement was disclosed, Mike Rosenberg of the San Mateo Times quoted van Ark on the importance of the first segment (emphasis ours): \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\" 'We have to build a system that is going to be operable as soon as possible and that means\u003cbr>\nbuilding many miles of track that are connected to each other,' van Ark said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But a Central Valley segment will have no operational significance -- van Ark said major population centers need to be linked and the agency will not bother starting service there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\" '\u003cstrong>\u003cem>We will not have trains when we build this first segment\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>,\"' he said.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If they build this first segment as planned, who will come? Maybe we'll hear some more concrete answers at the rail authority's board meeting next week. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

While it happens on the local level in some California communities for things like transit and community college districts, the focus has been on statewide redistricting — districts for the state Legislature, state Board of Equalization, and the U.S. House of Representatives that are drawn every 10 years once new Census data is finalized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The practice of “\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrymandering\">gerrymandering\u003c/a>,” which generically means drawing maps to benefit someone other than the public, is as old as the country itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s own history with redistricting has been, in a word, complicated. Like many states, our maps have been drawn by the Legislature and approved by the governor. But three of the last four redistricting efforts were so controversial that they landed either in the courts (1970s, 1990s) or on the ballot (1980s). The most recent maps, drawn by the Legislature and approved by then Gov. Gray Davis in 2001, were the impetus for reformers to strip the power of redistricting completely from legislators — first in 2008 (\u003ca href=\"http://www.ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_11_%282008%29\">Proposition 11\u003c/a>) and then, additionally, on November 2 (\u003ca href=\"http://www.ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_20,_Congressional_Redistricting_%282010%29\">Proposition 20\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>QUESTION\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhat did Proposition 20 do? What criteria are the new redistricting commission required to consider and what criteria are they explicitly prohibited from considering? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>JOHN MYERS\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nProp 20 gives the power of drawing California’s congressional districts to the new \u003ca href=\"http://wedrawthelines.ca.gov/\">Citizens Redistricting Commission\u003c/a> — a panel that’s just now convening and was created by 2008’s Prop 11 to draw legislative and state Board of Equalization districts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for criteria, the commission will have to follow legal requirements about equal population and protection of minority voting rights. (The latter is especially important in some parts of California with historical cases of voting rights discrimination). After that, political districts will need to be — to the extent possible — geographically contiguous and compact, thus avoiding the oft-criticized “squiggly” districts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop 20 enhanced one of the commission’s marching orders: drawing political districts with an eye towards what are called “communities of interest.” This will be an especially interesting part of the process, as the term is defined differently in states across the country and, in the minds of some experts, is more art than science. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only real criteria that the new citizens commission can NOT take into consideration are the residences of politicians (including incumbents) and the relative proportions of political parties. It’s worth noting that some defenders of the status quo may consider a lawsuit challenging the commission on the former — arguing that if two incumbents are lumped into a single political district, some voters will be denied their rights to vote for the person they desire. But of course, redistricting almost always produces lawsuits of some sort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>QUESTION\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWho is on the commission? How were they chosen? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>JOHN MYERS\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe commission will be made up of 14 men and women — 5 Democrats, 5 Republicans, 4 citizens from other parties/independents. Last week, the first \u003ca href=\"http://sfcitizen.com/blog/2010/11/19/meet-your-new-california-citizens-redistricting-commission-includes-cynthia-dai-of-sf-all-members-went-to-uc/\">8 commissioners\u003c/a> were picked at random by the California State Auditor from the final applicant pool (the vetting process has been going on all year); soon, those 8 commissioners will choose 6 more from the applicant pool… then it’s on to picking staff, etc. and then the map drawing will begin. I should note the timeline for drawing maps will be pretty tight; the final census data won’t arrive until April 1 and yet all the maps — 174 districts in all — must be drawn by August 15. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>QUESTION\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nHow might this new procedure impact California’s House delegation? Who do you think is most endangered? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>JOHN MYERS\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nIt all depends on how you look at things. The chances of dramatic changes in party representation are almost non-existent. Democrats are California’s dominant party, and no redistricting map will lead to Republicans winning the balance of the state’s congressional seats. But what might change — and thus, the angst from politicians — is who those members of Congress are. For example, there’s long been a feeling that — were it not for the 2001 effort to protect incumbents — some Los Angeles area Democratic incumbents would have been challenged, and lost, due to the rapid growth in the Latino community. The gerrymandered LA districts seemed to specifically deny the existence of at least one so-called “minority majority” congressional district in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some are also theorizing that Republicans may suffer more than Democrats, given how many more Democratic voters there are than Republican voters these days in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>QUESTION\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhat other public offices will be affected by the change? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>JOHN MYERS\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAll 120 legislative districts (80 in the Assembly, 40 in the state Senate) will be redrawn, as will the four statewide Board of Equalization districts.

While it happens on the local level in some California communities for things like transit and community college districts, the focus has been on statewide redistricting — districts for the state Legislature, state Board of Equalization, and the U.S. House of Representatives that are drawn every 10 years once new Census data is finalized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The practice of “\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrymandering\">gerrymandering\u003c/a>,” which generically means drawing maps to benefit someone other than the public, is as old as the country itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s own history with redistricting has been, in a word, complicated. Like many states, our maps have been drawn by the Legislature and approved by the governor. But three of the last four redistricting efforts were so controversial that they landed either in the courts (1970s, 1990s) or on the ballot (1980s). The most recent maps, drawn by the Legislature and approved by then Gov. Gray Davis in 2001, were the impetus for reformers to strip the power of redistricting completely from legislators — first in 2008 (\u003ca href=\"http://www.ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_11_%282008%29\">Proposition 11\u003c/a>) and then, additionally, on November 2 (\u003ca href=\"http://www.ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_20,_Congressional_Redistricting_%282010%29\">Proposition 20\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>QUESTION\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhat did Proposition 20 do? What criteria are the new redistricting commission required to consider and what criteria are they explicitly prohibited from considering? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>JOHN MYERS\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nProp 20 gives the power of drawing California’s congressional districts to the new \u003ca href=\"http://wedrawthelines.ca.gov/\">Citizens Redistricting Commission\u003c/a> — a panel that’s just now convening and was created by 2008’s Prop 11 to draw legislative and state Board of Equalization districts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for criteria, the commission will have to follow legal requirements about equal population and protection of minority voting rights. (The latter is especially important in some parts of California with historical cases of voting rights discrimination). After that, political districts will need to be — to the extent possible — geographically contiguous and compact, thus avoiding the oft-criticized “squiggly” districts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop 20 enhanced one of the commission’s marching orders: drawing political districts with an eye towards what are called “communities of interest.” This will be an especially interesting part of the process, as the term is defined differently in states across the country and, in the minds of some experts, is more art than science. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only real criteria that the new citizens commission can NOT take into consideration are the residences of politicians (including incumbents) and the relative proportions of political parties. It’s worth noting that some defenders of the status quo may consider a lawsuit challenging the commission on the former — arguing that if two incumbents are lumped into a single political district, some voters will be denied their rights to vote for the person they desire. But of course, redistricting almost always produces lawsuits of some sort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>QUESTION\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWho is on the commission? How were they chosen? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>JOHN MYERS\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe commission will be made up of 14 men and women — 5 Democrats, 5 Republicans, 4 citizens from other parties/independents. Last week, the first \u003ca href=\"http://sfcitizen.com/blog/2010/11/19/meet-your-new-california-citizens-redistricting-commission-includes-cynthia-dai-of-sf-all-members-went-to-uc/\">8 commissioners\u003c/a> were picked at random by the California State Auditor from the final applicant pool (the vetting process has been going on all year); soon, those 8 commissioners will choose 6 more from the applicant pool… then it’s on to picking staff, etc. and then the map drawing will begin. I should note the timeline for drawing maps will be pretty tight; the final census data won’t arrive until April 1 and yet all the maps — 174 districts in all — must be drawn by August 15. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>QUESTION\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nHow might this new procedure impact California’s House delegation? Who do you think is most endangered? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>JOHN MYERS\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nIt all depends on how you look at things. The chances of dramatic changes in party representation are almost non-existent. Democrats are California’s dominant party, and no redistricting map will lead to Republicans winning the balance of the state’s congressional seats. But what might change — and thus, the angst from politicians — is who those members of Congress are. For example, there’s long been a feeling that — were it not for the 2001 effort to protect incumbents — some Los Angeles area Democratic incumbents would have been challenged, and lost, due to the rapid growth in the Latino community. The gerrymandered LA districts seemed to specifically deny the existence of at least one so-called “minority majority” congressional district in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some are also theorizing that Republicans may suffer more than Democrats, given how many more Democratic voters there are than Republican voters these days in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>QUESTION\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhat other public offices will be affected by the change? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>JOHN MYERS\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAll 120 legislative districts (80 in the Assembly, 40 in the state Senate) will be redrawn, as will the four statewide Board of Equalization districts. It’s worth noting that my reporting over the years has found that what you will NOT see from this process is a significant number of new competitive districts between Democrats and Republicans. The reality is that Californians have self-segregated themselves so much that, say, you can’t draw competitive districts in most of the Bay Area. But the key, say reformers, is that the new commission will be 100% transparent… so that at least everyone knows deals weren’t cut behind closed doors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>QUESTION\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAre any other states looking at California as a model for changing their own methods of drawing districts? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>JOHN MYERS\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAs the process begins, California becomes one of only a handful of states with truly independent redistricting commissions.
