California voters will “reject the idea of abandoning the districting commission and letting the legislature set these lines,” says political consultant Dick Morris.
“California voters have fought hard to free the reapportionment from congressional control and to vest it in the voters,” he said Saturday during an appearance on Newsmax TV’s “The Count.”
“Now, [California Gov. Gavin] Newsom wants to eliminate that so he can add the extra seats to retaliate against the Republicans. And I don’t think the voters of California are going to agree with that,” he added.

In fact, California voters decisively approved the redistricting, which has been held up in court. So it looks like Morris’ prognostication skills have failed again.
