initiative, citizen based or otherwise, which passed by a fairly substantial margin, for impartial redistricting within the last several years? And the current efforts by the Gov and Repub controlled state legislative bodies completely ignores and stomps all over the wishes of the state's voters? DeSatan won election by a relatively small margin, some 35K votes as I recall. These clowns are playing with fire if they keep this krap up.

(I just read this within the last week but can't remember from where or find any reference to it via Google where it's mentioned directly.)
