At the hearing today, the judge did not dismiss the case as the opposition had hoped, but instead said he would read our brief more carefully before he makes his ruling!
Lawsuit filed in Federal Court, charging that Californians do not have true representation.
"On December 1, 2008 a California voter filed a federal lawsuit, charging
that the population of California legislative districts (the lower house in
particular) is so vast, that Californians do not have true representation in
either house of their state legislature. The lawsuit is filed in federal court
and argues that the U.S. Constitution protects the ability of ordinary voters to
have meaningful representation. It argues that given the 475,000 population of
California Assembly districts, there is no real representation."
