Bill Description
To protect our health and the health of our planet voters must choose their representatives, not the other way around. Partisan redistricting works against that basic freedom by creating non-competitive districts that allow politicians who should represent their constituents to ignore the will of local voters. AB 415 entrenches legislative control of our redistricting process, working against the goal of creating fair maps.
