If voters today approve Prop 50, as the mystics and statistics say they will, California will help end a 60-year period in which legislative maps were drawn according the Census's metronome and not partisan opportunity. Welcome (back) to the era of the perpetual gerrymander. —>

A coherent politics: yes to solar fusion, no to electoral fusion
The New York City ballot form is a scam! - No ID is required - Other mayoral candidates appear twice - Cuomo’s name is last in bottom right

My take for @Politico on how once a once-a-decade occurrence has morphed into a standing political arms race, and what it means for our parties and Congress:

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s disappearing act One of his greatest political accomplishments is about to be wiped away by California voters. Why hasn’t he done more to defend it?
