No state with a GOP majority legislature has adopted independent commissions. The party has no interest in fairness. This whole thing was kicked off by Texas. Redistricting outside of census years is a novel way to basically rig elections. It places no boundaries on what was already a partisan activity.

I’m glad Newsom realized this. He deserves a lot of credit for spearheading prop 50.
