The only one that doesn't make sense is 77. As convoluted as some of these districts are, I don't think it's a good idea to let 3 unknown, unelected people draw them. Even if they are judges.
It's a better option than having the Democrat-controlled legislature rig them so they can all keep their jobs while continuing to drive California into the ground.
Agreed. Democracy ain't the best system, but it's better than all the others.
