In Colorado the Dems run the state House and the GOP runs the state Senate. Even so, since the Dems also have a majority in the state Supreme Court, the districts for the legislature are gerrymandered a bit in their favor. So it is good news that in this divided legislature both chambers unanimously approved for the fall election a pair of constitutional amendments to set up an independent redistricting commission. There are two amendments because one is for legislature districts, the other for Congressional districts.
Ohio has passed a redistricting law. Utah and Colorado will have proposals on the November ballot. Michigan and Missouri have collected the signatures and waiting for certification. Sounds like citizens are fed up with gerrymandering.
