This is the second mailer I received in as many days to vote no on the California redistricting. It is pretty [View all]

clear the rethugs are spending a lot of money to try and get it defeated, and the reasoning is obvious, they are afraid they will lose the House.

The first mailer tries to implicate the League of Women voters as supporting their effort. They are not, though on general principals the LWV is against redistricting. That group is Project Voters First, funded by rethug Charles T. Munger jr. pushing the hypocrisy that it is a "threat to democracy, mid-cycle redistricting. Of course this group was silent on what Texas did. www.fppc.ca.gov.

The second mayor directly goes after Newsom and "Sacramento incumbents" to perform "Unconstitutional Gerrymandering. That group is named "right path California", ProtectFairElections.org
While the first flyer they openly say who is funding it, this one is much more devious and hidden. They try to claim they are "non-partisan". Sure, they are non-partisan in the same way that North Korea is a "democratic republic. What I found reddit was that "right path california is led by former chairwoman of the CA republican party Jessica Millan Patterson. I suspect that is accurate, but the bottom line is they are NOT non-partisan, and are pushing a massive campaign to defeat redistricting.

The latest polling on this has the ballot winning, but in that poll there are 20% undecided, and that could be a issue. Hopefully, Californians are smart enough to vote for the redistricting to offset the thuggery going on with the Texas redistricting.
