Between ballot harvesting, top-down control and a state so gerrymandered that 41% of the Republican voters have virtually no representation, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that he\u2019s preparing a plan to abolish what\u2019s left of democracy in California. The goal is to reduce Republican representation from 9 seats to 4 or 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now remember this is in a state where Trump won 38% of the vote, but where Republicans have only 17% of the seats, which Newsom would like to bring down to 5% or 7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"524\" height=\"790\" src=\"https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-11.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12788\" style=\"width:298px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-11.png 524w, https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-11-199x300.png 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Contorted Assembly Districts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Newsom does have a \u2018democratic\u2019 problem here. An actual democratic problem in that Proposition 11, a move backed by Schwarzenegger, liberals and various liberal \u2018sorta Republicans\u2019 (and violently opposed by Pelosi and the Dems) created a semi-independent redistricting commission. The commission doesn\u2019t work very well, but it\u2019s better than the alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And to executive his dream map,&nbsp; Newsom now needs to sideline or bypass the commission which is illegal, but legality is a minor point when you control the political and judicial system. The current plan is to try and convince \u2018voters\u2019 to set aside the commission or just ignore the commission and redraw the districts anyway so that over 40% of the state is reduced to 5% representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that point, what really distinguishes California from Venezuela except better beaches?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Gov. Newsom goes ahead with his plan to politically disenfranchise half the state, it may be time for the federal government to step in and to treat California like the third world Communist dictatorship it aspires to be\u2026 and liberate it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are some very interesting numbers in this report, and how an unethical political party in control can mangle voting districts to their advantage.
