Schwarzenegger Anti-Gerrymander Fight

The fact that not a single incumbent in California lost a U.S. Congressional, State Assembly or State Senate seat last fall should give pause to any observer of state politics. Districts in California have been drawn with care to do one thing: protect incumbents. Schwarzenegger wants to change this and this will certainly cause a tremendous battle. It's a battle he can win, though. If every voter got a copy of the Congressional District map of California, it would be obvious how absurd the districts are. Here is a link to such a map (a PDF). Take a look at the following districts: 23, 18, 3, 7, 10, and 11. Those are obvious Gerrymanders.
