Here's one thing. A Michigan amendment against gerrymandering passed. Does anyone know if Mich was already gerrymandered?

1. Ours passed here in CO.

Colorado election: Amendments Y and Z pass, changing the way Colorado does redistricting

Colorado Amendments Y and Z, which will change who determines how political district boundaries are drawn, both passed on Tuesday.

The amendments leave the task of determining congressional and state political districts to independent commissions instead of the Colorado legislature.

As of 8:20 p.m., Colorado voters approved Amendment Y, which pertains to congressional districts for the U.S. House of Representatives, with 71 percent of the vote. Amendment Z, which pertains to state house and senate races, also passed with 71 percent of the vote.

Under the amendments, district boundaries, drawn by independent legislative staff, will have to be approved by a tri-partisan commission of four Republicans, four Democrats and four voters unaffiliated with a political party review them. Eight of the 12, which must include two unaffiliated voters, must vote to approve the map.

3. Michigan is incredibly gerrymandered.

Especially at the state legislature level.

This proposal is the beginning of the end of it. It is modeled after the California system.

We actually had enough of a blue wave in MI last night to swing 2 gerrymandered US House districts to blue, MI-8 and MI-11.

MI-11 was acutally specially carved up for former US House rep Thaddeus McCotter in 2002.

Our districts will soon be changing...for the better.
