Why would you want an unelected panel deciding the district lines? Seems the conservative position would have only elected officials so that they could be held accountable by voters!

Thank you for clearing that up! I had forgotten that was what that did. So the Moveon.org that failed in Ohio had a counter part in California. Intresting that they both are failing. Why was the Gov for it?

I don't know why he would be for it unless Arnold was trying for a power grab by having a say on who gets on the panel. From the support 77 website states that the district lines are done by incumbents who are deeply entrenched into those districts. By having a panel do the redistricting, it would make the races more competitive. I believe it would make them more entrench than they are now!
