“Not long ago, Democrats had dreams of restoring fairness to America’s grotesquely gerrymandered political maps,” the New York Times reports.“Their party began a major push for independent commissions to draw congressional districts after President Trump and Republicans swept into power in 2017. Democrats, panicked about Republicans’ structural gains after the 2010 census, succeeded in enacting such commissions in Colorado, Michigan and Virginia, while Republicans mostly kept politically minded state legislators in charge of drawing maps in red states.”“Now Democrats are finding that their old good-government policies have become bad politics.”
