I have to say I love how elections are done in CA. I’ve never had so much clear info officially in my hands as a voter. Anyone who tells you that the potential redistricting here isn’t being done 100% democratically is totally lying to you and you should 100% never listen to them again.

Just updated this timeline to fix a typo and address an error in the last box where I'd gotten the manner of arrest wrong.

Like this paper? Here's another that will be right up your alley.

Here, the authors merge voter files & online resumes to create a dataset of 34.5M people.

They show that Dems & Reps choose distinctive career paths and employers. This leads to a lot of partisan segregation at the workplace.
