5. Most repubs are for 77, but there have been a few vocal congressmen
against it.

I'm pretty sure Ken Calvert, Bill Thomas and one other. They say it's endangering their incumbancy and the Republican party can't take the risk.

It's obvious the Democrats are against it just because it will likely lose them seats in California. They've been for the initiative in Ohio because it'd gain them seats. Can't you see there's a little bit of self interest in behind their support for the redistrictings? It's all silly. I don't care who draws the districts, the incumbants shouldn't be doing it... My support for 77 stands.
