Party control over redistricting

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

There's a good chance that the remaining Deep South Democratic legislatures will fall pretty soon.

I would shift TN and OK to the Blue collumn. IN, OH, PA, MI might fall under complete GOP control as well depending on whether Republican Governor victories can bring in an all GOP legislature. AL might fall, but I am not sure if it will happen in 2010.

CA will be using a nonpartisan commission for the 2010 cycle. Prop 11 passed in 2008.

I read somewhere that, that only dealt with the State legislature. And it said that if it had dealt with US House seats Pelosi would have mobilized millions to defeat it.


The GOP should back non-partisan redistricting reform. Historically the Democrats have dominated the process, only in 2002 did the GOP dominate by controlling the big states.
