3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The redistricting process is an essential element of our democracy. The statewide legislative redistricting process, which occurs after the decennial census, provides a valuable opportunity to examine questions of inclusiveness, fair representation, and equity in our democracy. Our democratic society functions best when all people are provided with equal opportunities to fully and meaningfully participate in the electoral process. This Senate redistricting plan, submitted on behalf of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) and the William C. Velasquez Institute (WCVI), provides a communitybased vision of inclusive democracy and features extensive community outreach as its centerpiece. MALDEF and WCVI have visited with community members throughout California, from the Imperial Valley desert community of Calexico to the burgeoning, ethnically rich, and diverse communities in Oakland. During these meetings, we have met members of the community face to face, and we have incorporated into our Senate redistricting plan, their vision of an inclusive democracy. This Senate redistricting plan represents a reasonable, fair, and equitable picture of electoral districts that complies with all applicable Constitutional, federal and state law: This redistricting plan contains a total overall deviation of.27% and an average deviation of.7% in compliance with the equal population requirement of the United States Constitution. The plan fully complies with Section 2 and Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. This plan does not elevate race above other traditional redistricting criteria. This plan respects traditional redistricting criteria by utilizing communities of interest as its foundation. This plan respects traditional redistricting criteria by creating districts that are contiguous. This plan respects traditional redistricting criteria by incorporating and respecting communities of interest. This plan respects political subdivisions by avoiding, to the extent possible, the splitting of counties or cities, except to comply with the rule of equal population and the Voting Rights Act. MALDEF - WCVI Senate Redistricting Plan July 31, 21 - Sacramento, California 2

4 This plan creates districts that are based on MALDEF s and WCVI s extensive outreach to ensure that these districts truly capture communities which share representational interests. During the past year, MALDEF and WCVI have documented community concerns regarding what these communities believe would contribute to equitable and fair opportunities for representation. In addition, we have reviewed of community of interest testimony submitted to the Assembly and Senate Elections and Reapportionment Committees. This redistricting plan is in full compliance with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act because it does not dilute minority voting strength. The plan is in full compliance with Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act and does not retrogress the voting strength of minorities in California s four covered jurisdictions - Yuba County, Merced County, Monterey County, and Kings County.

5 THE REDISTRICTING PARTNERSHIP FOR COMMUNITY EDUCATION The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) and the William C. Velasquez Institute (WCVI) joined together in a redistricting partnership for community education. The central goal of that partnership was to provide resources to the Latino communities throughout the state in order to support the creation of fair districts. To that end, MALDEF and WCVI provided education seminars on the legal and technical aspects of redistricting. The 35 redistricting workshops, open to the general public and frequently covered by local media, were held throughout the state, in such diverse communities as San Diego County, San Bernardino, Santa Clara County, Fresno, and Los Angeles. In each meeting, we gathered information from a community regarding how best to represent their needs and interests. At each meeting, we distributed our respective publications: The Importance of Redistricting in Your Community (MALDEF/APALC/NAACP-LDF) and Fair Redistricting in the 2 s, A Manual for Minority Groups (WCVI). After providing them with an overview of the legal and technical issues involving redistricting, the community members were asked to apply their local knowledge and experiences about their communities to the census tracks and population figures on the maps we provided. They also incorporated into the socio-economic maps the issues that unite and divide their community. If they needed access to mapping software, we provided free NetMeeting Mapping. As the map was being constructed, MALDEF and WCVI frequently consulted community members. Both groups continue to provide assistance with local redistricting efforts, providing the technical and legal assistance to create supervisorial or city council districts that reflect the needs of their community. Our redistricting effort is a statewide project aimed at giving community members a greater voice in the governance of California. To that end, in April 21, MALDEF and WCVI convened community groups at the Latino Summit on Fair Redistricting in Sacramento. Over 15 community members from throughout the state attended the summit and shared their experiences in redistricting. The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) is a national nonprofit legal organization which promotes and protects the civil rights of the over 3 million Latinos residing in the United States. One of the most important goals for MALDEF is ensuring fair access to the political process for all Latinos. MALDEF performs its work through community education, public policy advocacy, and litigation. For over 3 years, MALDEF has been actively involved in redistricting efforts throughout the United States. As the Latino population continues to grow throughout the country, it is critical that Latinos level of political awareness, sophistication and participation in the electoral process are enhanced. MALDEF knows that political empowerment is vital to our strong democratic form of government. Our efforts have involved both enforcing Latino voting rights and protecting gains MALDEF - WCVI Senate Redistricting Plan July 31, 21 - Sacramento, California 4

6 which already have been achieved. MALDEF played a key role in the advocacy and passage of the 1993 National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) or Motor Voter Act and we are monitoring national implementation through our litigation efforts in LULAC v. State of Illinois and Voting Rights Coalition v. Wilson. MALDEF also has actively participated in litigation arising from the 1993 Supreme Court decision in Shaw v. Reno, which allows parties to challenge as racial gerrymandering districts in which minorities constitute a majority of the population (majority-minority districts). In the aftermath of Shaw, there have been several legal challenges filed against majority-minority districts throughout the country; MALDEF has defended congressional and state legislative redistricting plans for the states of Illinois, Louisiana and Texas. For more information visit The William C. Velasquez Institute (WCVI), formerly known, as the Southwest Voter Research Institute is a tax-exempt, non-profit, non-partisan organization chartered in The purpose of WCVI is to conduct research aimed at improving the level of political and economic participation in Latino and other underrepresented communities. WCVI holds a unique position among national Latino organizations. In its tradition of working with grassroots organizations, academic institutions and local elected officials, WCVI fills the gap between intellectual think tanks and community groups. WCVI conducts research in selected areas of concentration and follows up the implementation stages: WCVI translates ideas into research, research into policy and policy into action. WCVI was created: To provide information to Latino leaders relevant to the needs of their constituents To inform the Latino leadership and public about the impact of public and international policies on Latinos To inform the Latino leadership and public about political opinions and behavior of Latinos For more information visit MALDEF - WCVI Senate Redistricting Plan July 31, 21 - Sacramento, California 5

15 STATEMENT OF USE OF TRADITIONAL REDISTRICTING CRITERIA MALDEF and WCVI have ensured that each of the districts in this redistricting plan comply with traditional redistricting criteria. Prohibition Against Malapportionment: The One-Person, One-Vote Rule The districts in this plan contain an overall deviation of.27% and an average deviation of.7% in compliance with the one person-one vote rule in Article I, Section 2 of the United States Constitution. In this plan, deviations from the ideal district size are justifiable on the basis of nondiscriminatory legitimate objectives. Compact and Contiguous Districts The districts in this plan are both contiguous and compact. Respect for Political Subdivisions This plan respects political subdivisions by avoiding, where practicable, the splitting of counties or cities. This plan respects political subdivision boundaries to the extent necessary to comply with the rule of equal population or with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Respects Communities of Interest This Senate redistricting plan respects communities of interest and incorporates both quantitative and qualitative data in determining whether residents of a district might be represented fairly, and effectively. MALDEF and WCVI have conducted over thirty-five interactive community redistricting workshops where local residents shared their unique knowledge about their community and the similarities and differences they had with neighboring communities. In addition, demographic information reported by the United States Census Bureau, and other social and economic data, including information on education, education, and housing, was also used as guides to observing communities of interest in the newly shaped districts. 1 Furthermore, MALDEF and WCVI have attended every public Assembly and Senate Committee hearing on redistricting. Respect California s Basic Geographic Regions 1 Social and economic data used in this plan are based on the U.S. Census STF-3 Files for 199 and projections to 22 as calculated by the Caliper Corporation of Cambridge, Massachusetts. MALDEF - WCVI Senate Redistricting Plan July 31, 21 - Sacramento, California 14

16 This plan also preserves the integrity of California s basic geographic regions (coastal, mountain, desert, central valley and intermediate valley regions). Does Not Elevate Race Above Other Criteria This plan does not elevate race above other criteria in creating boundaries for districts. Each district in the plan is supported by numerous non-racial and traditional redistricting criteria described above. MALDEF - WCVI Senate Redistricting Plan July 31, 21 - Sacramento, California 15
