STREET BEAT: ‘Should politicians be allowed to carve out voter districts?’

Darlene Baysa

“I hate gerrymandering, but I celebrate Gavin Newsom who is redistricting California because the Republicans are doing it and we have to fight fire with fire.”

Paul Turner

Los Angeles

“Should you be excluded from winning because the district has been gerrymandered for one party or another? I just don’t think that’s right the right thing to do.”

Ampama Karantanga

Los Angeles

“To be honest, I’m politically neutral because politics is all over the place these days.”

Robert Sausedo

Los Angeles

“I think its wrong because it [defies] the concept of “we the people” and puts the power in the hand of the politician vs. the power in the hands of the people.”
