The Statewide Database offers a wealth of information on California statewide elections back to 1992. This site offers voting, registration, geographic datasets, redistricting court cases and news, plus research resources. As one example, the Reports section includes reports on the 2000 census, zip code information, Statements of Registration (1962-2008), and Statements of the Vote (1990-2008). Maps are given for the Senate, Assembly, and Congressional Districts. Resources include: California redistricting initiatives, and redistricting news. The California District Summaries give for each Senate, Assembly, and Congressional District information on voter registration (Democrat or Republican), the ethnicity of each district, the district vote in the 2000 Presidential Election, and a note on whether the district is considered a safe Republican or Democratic district.
