The Center for Governmental Studies and Demos have issued this report, which, according to the press release, “reviews Senate Constitutional Amendment 3 (SCA 3), currently before the California State Legislature, and a new ballot initiative submitted for title and summary by Ted Costa. The report compares both measures to public interest goals delineated in Drawing Lines: A Public Interest Guide to Real Redistricting Reform (2005) and concludes that partisan fairness, public participation and transparency would be improved by placing control of California redistricting in the hands of an independent redistricting commission. Re-Drawing Lines was shared with all members of the California State Legislature and the Governor’s office.”
