Interestingly, these anti-gerrymandering initiatives are very similar. This is because they did not originate from problems that Missourians perceived with the Missouri election process, or problems that Michiganders perceived with the Michigan election process. They originated from problems that New Yorkers and D.C. residents perceived in Missouri and Michigan...namely, too many Republicans getting elected in flyover country.
These New Yorkers and Washingtonians then got the proposals on the ballots in those states, and they put a summary on the ballot that sounded nice (emphasizing supposed impartiality, while ignoring unaccountability). And, there you go. Guy who works at the 7-11 is sold a fraudulent bill of goods in the voting booth, so he surrenders his rights without knowing he is doing it. Democrat Party driven "democracy" at its finest. Seriously, this is anti-democratic, and pretty disgusting.
