Amazingly biased: "Efforts by the California Democratic Party subverted the process, resulting in districts drawn in their favor."

Every reference is a blog. There are no legitimate news articles. The thing about conspiracy theories is they're hard to verify. M i c 23:50, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

From looking over the history, it looks like User:RightCowLeftCoast is pushing this sentence. I see that everyone has their own biases, but when something sticks out so blatantly I don't feel like I can ignore it. User:RightCowLeftCoast, if you choose to reinsert this sentence please give a brief explanation here. M i c 00:02, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the Washington Post article. It is hosted by a reliable secondary source, and in it the writer states:

There were also critics of the citizen’s redistricting process, and some reports indicated that the Democratic Party, in particular, subverted the process in order to get the map drawn in its favor. (Creating a truly independent process for redistricting has proven very difficult, though California’s attempt has earned praise.)

If it is believed that the critics should be attributed, I can see that as a worthy compromise, however to blank verified content is not in the best interest of the article.

Additionally, per WP:BRD please do not delete the content again until a consensus is reached as to what the outcome of this discussion is.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:42, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Before and after?

Why are there no maps? Or at least some examples of redrawn districts? Abductive (reasoning) 03:43, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
