I'm a big map nerd and a sometime political junkie, so I was drawn to reporting this story in today's paper about how redistricting might affect the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. It could have a huge impact on the South Bay.
Few people are paying much attention to this because of all the excitement surrounding congressional and legislative redistricting in Sacramento. But the local process is important too, and the push for a second majority-Latino board district is pretty fascinating.
Anyway, if you're a nerd too, then I present to you a really, really fun link where you can look at all the maps that were submitted to the board's Boundary Review Committee over the past few months.
You can also sign up to play with the county's online redistricting software, which isn't especially intuitive but includes a lot of interesting data.
Enjoy! No, really, enjoy.
