It's pretty amazing to me that the ASUC is competent enough to actually put together a working Redistricting proposal in front of the City Council. That takes a lot of effort: understanding demographic data, working with lawyers, utilizing voting patterns, and so forth. Just the effort is impressive.

Probably won't be successful, as students have no way of getting between the Moderates and Progressives. The best they can do is become a useful pawn, since both sides pay lip service to the concept of student power. I think the ASUC folks know this. Hopefully we'll get out with something close to a student district, if we work at it.

I'm not sure how they think we'd elect a student representative... but I suppose it's a nice thought.
