With the politicians cut out of their sweetheart redistricting deals, average citizens can draw lines that actually hold politicians accountable.

We’ll choose them instead of their choosing us to guarantee their perpetual re-election in “safe” seats.

That is how democracy is supposed to work as we all learned in our civic books in school. Our vote should actually be able to affect them at election time.

I doubt that we will find “average citizens” on the panel.
Instead, they will be carefully selected by the same darn politicians that have abused the process for years.

How are you liking Colorado? Nice to see ya around here! :-)
