This post breaks down the demographics within the Democratic, Republican, and Other pools of applicants for the CA Redistricting Commission, and it discusses the likelihood of applicants in each pool advancing.

For example, did you know that the only remaining Pacific Islander in the applicant pool is a Republican, and that he's in the group of 31 applicants that received favorable evaluations from all three panel members at their last meeting? That, and other useful nuggets, plus the identity of the "623rd remaining applicant," are available in that post.

Please forward to anyone you think might be interested. And follow us on our blog (http://www.RoseReport.org) and twitter (@RoseInstitute) for future analysis and minute-by-minute twitter updates of the ARP meeting.
