Get your comment engines running!  Officially the full maps were supposed to be released today at 9AM, however, it seems the drafts now available<\/a> lack district numbers. For the Assembly, this really doesn’t matter so much, but for the Senate, that is a big deal.  You could end up with a bunch of Senators sitting out 2012-2014 and then hopping back.  You see Senators will serve the full four years of their term, even if there district and the corresponding number varies wildly.<\/p>\n

So, take a look, and let’s see what we have here…<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/b>: The Bee did a little counting for us, and they’ve posted the resulting maps showing which districts lean Dem or Republican.  You can find those here<\/a>.  Going just by registration, there are 29 districts in the State Senate with a 20K advantage to Democrats.  Of course, that demands that Dems win elections where they have previously lost, most noticeably in the area that is now Sam Blakeslee’s district.<\/p>\n

Update 2:<\/b> The Washington Post has an interesting analysis of the Congresional map<\/a> showing a 3 to 5 seat gain for Democrats.  This is more a result of unwinding the weird districts from 2001 than population shifts, but if we can pick up a few seats to make up for Texas that’s a good thing.<\/p>\n

Lucas also has a good review of the San Diego aspects of the new maps at TwoCathedrals<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
