The League of Women Voters was a major backer of the original amendments that created and expanded the redistricting commission in the first place.

That was long before MAGA was a thing.

Common Cause was another key supporter of the commission and they are struggling to support the current move (with a number of board members resigning).

It has nothing to do with supporting Trump.
