In California an independent commission draws the legislative districts. The districts lines are drawn according to population with an attempt to use existing municipal boundaries wherever possible. Districts are supposed to be compact and contiguous. Since Democrats are in the majority in California, most of the legislative districts are majority Democratic.
The Republicans didn't like this, and tried to overturn the law with a referendum. Voters, who like fair play, rejected the attempt to overturn the law. What a concept. Fair redistricting.
