GOP is behind Dems in this practice.
Because they've already implemented it so well, they have less ammo here to effect change going forward. They are pissed that GOP is doing what they have already done so well. Let's hope they make this a major issue, as it looks like they are prepared to do.
Ridiculous statement. But it fits with the persecutiion complex.

Refute with facts or data, as I have below? No, stick with knee-jerk emotion.

Keep inventing a narrative that is just baloney. Typical.

Here is the source of the 'invented narrative'
"Here’s a bit of math, provided by the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, that shows how effective the party has been at gerrymandering. States with Democratic state legislative majorities currently control the lines for about 35 GOP seats—all that’s left after their aggressive maps. By contrast, Republican state legislative majorities control the lines for 55 Democratic seats. The difference is the GOP advantage in the war Democrats have escalated. Whoops."
Carry on.

The GOP aren’t allowed to play by the same rules as the left.
Captain Democracy and Constitution Boy will scream if that happens. And the Dems never do anything wrong. No one said a word about Illinois when it happened but now it’s bad for both sides. Weird right?
Newsom is calling for Nationwide Independent Redistricting…Huge Difference, since not one Republican
Supports it…yet we all say it’s the right way to go.
You should be supporting him…not Trump.
Where do you think it’s needed and why?
This ought to be good.
How would it be independent?

You might be surprised to know that your own state stands alone in fighting Gerrymandering with its
model for Redistricting...glad to have the opportunity to do my "Good Deed" for the day...you're welcome.

Why does Iowa get a yellow on this map?
My question remains, how would it be independent?

I refuse (for the moment) to believe you’re that ill informed on the differences between Communism
and Democratic Socialism…but just in case it’s true, do a search under my Username with the keywords “Communism”, “Democratic”, “Socialism”.
And just in case you choose not to do that…Communism doesn’t allow private ownership, while Democratic Socialism does, plus it depends on more than one party elections…much like a few very democratic countries in Europe.
Bottom Line…you’re dead wrong.

That's one way to lose an argument.
I'm not even trying to argue with you here. How do we make it "independent"?
All you need to do is search the web …I’ve already given you one example…perhaps not
Perfect, but much better than average. Don’t be a Lazy Bones…fend for yourself.
Why do you post here?
If you can just have AI summaries do all the work, why even bother coming here and debating people that you don't actually want to debate?
In this thread I gave you a detailed summary of your own state's stand out method of Redistricting
from the NCSL...which in this case is not an AI overview...not that there's anything wrong with that. Since you had no clue, it should have answered your question as to "How would it be Independent?"...btw, there are several other suggestions, but as the following excerpt shows, Iowa makes a special effort...better than most... to make the process truly "Independent".
If you don't like Iowa's approach, say why and propose your own...that's how a debate should play out. Warning:...then you'll have to defend your own recommendation...scary stuff for a Libertarian ;-).
Gerrymandering is always bad. Trump is now demanding a whole new round.
If Texas does this, California will offset it.
Round and round it goes.
Yes, but people are moving from California to Texas.
And it's not for the weather.
It’s for the cows.

You mean call attention to Texas and the GOP gerrymandering? You mean when dems had a bill
that would have stopped gerrymandering districts for political gain not one republican voted for it.
It's a topic of great concern and should have been addressed decades ago
but it didn't suit those in power at the time and has been an open sore.
It's nice to see the Democrats back where they belong: whining about the activities of adults.

I think we need to form districts around gender identity.
If we could figure out where all of the intersex people live, probably Manhattan, we could ensure that they have a voice.
In all seriousness, the whole gerrymandering thing is completely fucked. I don't see an easy solution.
It's sort of like Congressional investment in stocks. There probably should be federal ballot items
so that people can vote on these things. I have to imagine 90% of the population would oppose both of these things.
In principle I like that, but in practice I have concerns.
If we were to "man on the street" the gerrymandering issue, would the average voter even understand what the term means?
What if we ask AI to redraw all of the districts and propose several maps that could be voted on?
Yeah, sort of the problem with democracy, people are f'ing morons.
