Suit seeks all California offices elected at large
A San Jose father and son attorney team filed a state Supreme Court suit to force all California congressmen and state legislators elected on an at large basis. The petition seeks to halt Gov Ronald Reagan and lawmakers from redrawing districts and to replace districts with a single ballot listing all candidates for assembly, state senate and Congress.
