Who would set up these ‘independent comissions”? Would this be a federal law or diktat?
What would leftists do without the ability to gerrymander?
Right now, there is an Independent Commission in Arizona. It is made up of 2 Republicans, 2 Democrats and 1 ‘Independent’ chosen by the Governor. The ‘Independent’ is actually a Democrat. The 3 Dems met behind closed doors (illegal) and Gerrymandered to their heart’s content. This resulted in 5 Dem and 4 Repub Congresspeople from Arizona in the last election. We have an R Governor, 2 R Senators, an R Atty General and an R Sec of State. The Governor sued to overturn the new Congressional map and was denied by a Lib judge. THAT is what happens when the people try to get an Independent Commission.
