How would elections be effected?
They would be more competitive and less costly. Smaller districts would have the effect of making it les costly to run for office. Therefore, they would be more competitive and more dependent upon their own constituents for their votes. Right now, the districts are so large, no one runs for office because the task is just so daunting. No one in the Assembly has lost election in the last 4 election cycles in California . In essence, once elected, you stay in. This is known as an “Autocracy” and it is a very sad state of affairs to be in. It represents an unhealthy system of governance that bases itself on elections. It means, elections don’t work. — Michael C.
