McAuliffe joined Holder to head up the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, a group devoted to ensuring that Democrats add representation during the redistricting process, which will be based on the 2020 national census.
The two men worry that Democratic donors focus too much on presidential elections, and not enough on the elections which control down ballot races nationwide.
Weve got to be smarter about how were building the future of this party, McAuliffe told the Times. We have been decimated at the state level, and its at the state level that they draw the maps. We raise all this money in the presidential, and then everybody goes away.

Dems have a bigger mess than they might think.
They’ve used courts and Affirmative Action to gerrymander districts for the purpose of ensuring minority representation in Congress.
What they ended up with is Democrats packed into fewer and fewer safe districts, when what any majority needs is plenty of competitive districts that can swing their way.
Getting minorities and insanely ideological judges to back off their demands is no easy task.
Gerrymandering has been a fact of life since the ink was dry on the Constitution.
Democrats only decided that it was a problem when enough State Legislatures turned Republican and it could be turned against them.
I don’t think that’s what Holder is doing in CA. Judicial Watch is demanding the contract records from the State of CA.
A lot of us suspect Holder is just here to help the CA Gov devise a plan to keep CA cities “sanctuary” cities - when Trump has clearly said he’s going to defund the cities.
And .. it’s now come out that these certain cities, were planning to USE TAXPAYER FUNDS FOR THEIR SCHEMES (San Francisco, San Jose, Berkley, Los Angeles - to name a few).
HOW I SEE IT: This is only going to rally the STATE of CA to get rid of the current GOV along with Holder.
If America can do it .. I guess CA can do it too.
In California, everyone votes, legal and illegal. If they boot Brown, Newsom will be right there to take his place. Gavin Newsom, former husband of Kimberley Guilfoyle and former mayor of San Francisco.
Jerry Brown is a recycled retread who got the CA Governors job primarily because nobody else wanted it.
We actually have the momentum on this issue and we need to work tirelessly on state and local reps, so when the redistricting does happen, we can push more people into the funnel.
“Jerry Brown is a recycled retread who got the CA Governors job primarily because nobody else wanted it.”
That’s not true.
2/3 of the Conservatives have left the State .. because there were no jobs; taxes were too high; housing was too high, etc., and illegals are given a free pass all over the State. I live a little over 30 miles from the Mexican border, and while the community I live in is relatively safe, I am very aware there are several areas now within SD County, where it is not safe for me to go. That bothers me.
NOW, there are not enough Conservatives left in the State to elect someone who will put the State back together.
