Californians stripped the Legislature of the once-a-decade redistricting task amid frustration with a polarized state government and gerrymandering that made seats perennially safe for most incumbents. The commission tentatively approved final maps July 29. A final vote is scheduled August 15 after a two-week public review period.

Note: In the first draft of June 10, the commission only assigned names to the new districts. Numbers were added in the final maps of July 29, but the new numbers cannot be linked directly to the current districts.

it would be nice if this interactive map actually WORKED for rural areas. As usual, we are stuck in whatever gerrymandered system works for paide hirelings. Why the heck don't you just quit trying to "even" voting for whatever is the minority group in favor this week (or whatever majority group is in power this week) and just draw straight lines using a computer that divides the state up by population in the straightest lines possible? Yes, it would cross mountains. YES, it would divide cities or have one street in one district on the North side, another on the South side. AS IF THAT ISN"T ALREADY THE CASE. At least with a computer, it wouldn't be done for any particular party's benefit nor for any so-called social agenda either.

The Commission has been bought and bribed out by the Democrats stooges and their union money.

They want to have the ability to raise your taxes whenever they choose. Good luck with that!

These maps are going to change and will be overturned. Stay tuned for more.

And why are the Foothill Communities so fractured up.

I thought that there where rules to be followed like no land islands and the like? Hmmmmm?

This may be Arnold Schwarzenegger's greatest legacy as governor. As a result, he may have terminated the California Republican Party as we have known it. That may be a good this, as it may drive the Party into the center and away from the extreme ideology that got some to sign a vow never to raise taxes. Anyone who vows to exclude an option as a leader limits his ability to represent all his constituents. Now the state needs to get rid of all the Democrats that think they can spend their way out of every state issue.

Bottom line, if everyone is unhapy about this redistricting, then it worked.
