If thats actually the case that would suggest to me that electoral district boundaries are fairly 'unbiased' ... i.e. if representation works out proportional to the vote... if the result is the same as if you were to randomly scatter all California voters around the state & draw up a uniform abstract grid for the district boundaries.

If a representative insists on continuing with moronic pet projects I don't see how it can be 'impossible' to get rid of them by any other means than redistricting if this is a democracy.
