The media is all abuzz about the Texas redistricting ploy – as we wrote yesterday, we hate gerrymandering – but you don’t hear many howls of protest on the scam going on in California.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has decided to build his 2028 presidential campaign around his plan to redraw the state Congressional map and create five more blue-leaning districts ahead of next year’s midterms. This would override the independent commission that 60% of Golden State voters recently approved.

If Newsom and the Dems go forward with their scheme, maybe they can draw lines so that every remaining Republican in the state is squeezed into one lone district.

Newsom says he is fighting “fire with fire” in response to the effort by Texas Republicans to pass their own controversial congressional redistricting plan.

Arnold Schwarzenegger – the former governor – is denouncing the move saying it “erodes trust in elections.”

Good for the Terminator. Is he “back?”
