From SoCalPundit:
Redistricting:Jeff at SoCalLawBlog has the whole story on Prop 77's return to the Special Election Ballot.Would require a panel of retired judges to draw election districts for state legislative, Board of Equalization and congressional offices. Takes away power of state legislators to draw their own districts. Voters would approve or disapprove the judges' redistricting plan. Supported by Schwarzenegger. Opposed by various GOP and Democratic lawmakers.
The California Supreme Court has ordered the Secretary of State to restore Proposition 77 to the ballot for this November’s special election.
Without Prop 77, the entire Special Election was likely to be cancelled or scaled back. Now that it has been returned to the ballot, we expect an interesting battle on November 8th!
Take that Bill Lockyear!
