California voters to decide on temporary shift of redistricting power to legislature, risking partisan gerrymandering.
加利福尼亚选民将就第50号提案作出决定,该提案将暂时将重新划分地区的权力从一个独立委员会转移到州立法机构,允许民主党在2030年人口普查之前再设立五个国会区。
California voters will decide on Proposition 50, which would temporarily shift redistricting authority from an independent commission to the state legislature, allowing Democrats to create five additional congressional districts before the 2030 census.
支持者说,它反对共和党在其它州重新划区,并确保在一个关键政治时期有公平的代表权。
Proponents say it counters Republican redistricting in other states and ensures fair representation during a pivotal political period.
反对者警告说,尽管这一措施是临时性的,但有可能出现党派拉皮条、加强民主控制、破坏2011年改革、削弱民主问责制等风险。
Opponents warn it risks partisan gerrymandering, entrenching Democratic control, undermining the 2011 reform, and weakening democratic accountability, despite the measure being temporary.
