Editor,
Our time is now. Gov. Newsom’s bold move to counter Texas’s unprecedented mid-decade redistricting plan is to be praised, and must pass in November’s special election.

Yawn, snore… Jordan Sher irrationally rationalizing the threat to democracy known as Proposition 50. So Jordan is asserting that being a threat to democracy and not playing fair are the response to an imagined threat to democracy? I’m not surprised Missouri (I believe they’ve already set new districts) and other red states see Newsom’s attempt at cheating and are joining the redistricting war that Newsom started. Vote NO on the threat to democracy known as Proposition 50. When they get that message, maybe we’ll start to bring our country back in line with the values that we were once revered for around the globe.
