If you expect the commission to take politics out of redistricting, then you expect too much of human nature.

If it really will ensure competitive elections, I will be surprised.

I voted yes on prop 20 because I figured that with a commission there is at least a possibility of a neutral map or a GOP favored map. There is zero chance the hyper-Democrat legislature and Jerry Brown would have drawn anything other than a Dem-favored map.
