The governor is urging a special election this year to get voter approval to cancel the constitutional amendment, thus creating a nonpartisan redivision committee.

According to public opinion polls, the nonpartisan redivision committee formed 15 years ago remains popular among most Californians.

That’s why Newsom and California Democratic lawmakers promised not to completely abolish the committee, but instead to temporarily replace the next three election cycles by the legislature.

“We will confirm our commitment to the re-division of the country’s independence after the 2030 Census, but we ask voters to agree that they agree to a medium-term re-division,” Newsom said.

Their efforts were opposed by many supporters of nonpartisan committees.

One of the most obvious members is probably Schwarzenegger.

“He calls it evil evil, he means it. He thinks it’s true evil that politicians take power from people,” Schwarzenegger spokesman Daniel Ketchell told Politico earlier this month.

“He’s against what Texas is doing, he’s against the idea that California will play at the bottom to do the same.”

During his tenure as governor, Schwarzenegger played the lead role in California’s constitutional amendments in 2008 and 2010, a role that granted the power to attract state legislation and congressional areas from politicians and put it in the hands of the independent committee.

“It will take a lot of effort and money to motivate Democrats and motivate them to participate in polls,” Pitney said.
