Yes, and per your post, I looked up in the Miami Herald the story about the proposition. It says lines need respect city and county boundaries (the GOP can handle that without losing too much of its gerrymandering punch, although it might be tough to save Alan West in FL-22), but then the story I read says that in addition, one is not to take partisan considerations into mind. Huh? How do you enforce that one? Is it like what porn is to the US Supreme Court (we know it when we see it, or what)? Or is it just a crummy reporting job, and the prop in fact has in it more specific metrics about the shape of districts, to squeeze out partisanship?
What the legislature is supposed to do is draw monstrosities like CD 3, and the stringy districts along the Gold Coast, and then respect county boundaries elsewhere. Alternatively throw a bowl of spaghetti at the Miami-Palm Beach are and then take a knife and cut the strands where they cross county lines.
