California Prop. 77 (Redistricting):

I know little about redistricting; my intuitive sense is that Prop. 77 — which would shift California redistricting from the legislature to a special, supposedly less partisan, commission — is a good idea, but my colleague Dan Lowenstein (who co-chairs the No on 77 campaign) thinks otherwise. I much respect Dan’s judgment and his election law expertise, so I thought I’d pass along a white paper that the No on 77 campaign put together on the subject. And here is the Yes on 77 site, which I assume has similar documents on the other side.
