I understand your point. My guess though is that the original intent of this process was to avoid partisan gerrymandering, which is almost exclusively abused by the democrats, so that you don’t end up with districts that look like Barney Franks, Corrine Brown, or Austin TX. However, the democraps have once again polluted this too.
What makes anyone think these commissions want be partisan. Who decides who sits in these commissions?? REALLY non partisan. HAHAHAHA!!! Can you tell I am skeptical??
True, true. I so get your point.
But who abuses it most shouldn’t matter. It was passed by the voters. In fact, we had the same thing pass here in CA much to the chagrin of many Dims.
I’m not often disappointed in the Conservative Judges on SCOTUS but I am in this one. If the people vote for it, almost always that should be it.
