No, though the public COULD have gotten it through elected representatives if they weren't so myopic.

And the redistricting issue isn't over by a long shot. It's going to crop up again *still with our expansive direct democracy system, where every special interest group, including the legislature, can drape itself with the proxy of "direct public support"* two years from now, or four, it will run without a competing measure on the ballot, and because it says "reform" in the title the California voter will pass it. And then wonder WTF just happened.
