Per SCOTUS, initiative created redistricting commissions may be l'histoire

Yeah, I'm not even sure why the AZGOP did this in the first place. Are they that pissed off at Colleen Mathis that they'd be willing to throw the entire party under the bus?

Isn't it the case though, that IA-style commissions may still be constitutional, considering that they've still got some legislative input?

I'm pretty sure dissolving Grijalva's district is not something on the table. And, IMO, gerrymandering AZ latin@s out of two congressional districts is unfair, even if it isn't necessarily a VRA violation. Minority rights come before all others; that's just the way the cookie crumbles. In AZ protecting minority voting rights means helping the Dems by splitting Tucson; in LA doing the same keeps the GOP's 5 districts.
