Will MAGA condemn Texan gerrymandering and sign a petition for all States and Feds to have independent Commissions handling redistributions?

MAGA complain about redistribution of electoral divisions in California - but don't realise how hypocritical it is unless they ALSO condemn the exactly same practice that started it in Texas.
MAGA complain about it in California - but don't propose anyone can DO anything about it.

Would you sign a petition for establishing universal American Electoral Committees - with universally bipartisan, objective, mathematically and constitutionally confined AEC's at the Federal and State level?

We have this down in Australia. The Australian Electoral Commission handles things at the Federal level - and we have various State bodies that do it as well.

It's why we are rated a FULL democracy - and the USA is rated FLAWED.

We're only 124 years old - and yet Australia has no gerrymandering. Our last cases were not really gerrymandering but 'weighted' electorates with some wonky stats due to city and rural issues in larger geographic states like Queensland and WA - but they were sorted decades ago.

Would WOKE condemn Illinois gerrymandering and California gerrymandering and the gerrymandering that goes on in woke controlled states? Should I hold my breath? I don't think so.

Neither side will condemn this undemocratic process; instead, each will blame the other for cheating while engaging in similar behavior themselves. As a result, our political environment has become a place where integrity and doing the right thing are no longer valued virtues.

The boundaries of districts are a state responsibility. The only requirement is that more or less the same number of people is in each district. So there is no Federal government control of district boundaries. But do you think that would automagically fix anything?

I don't know why we should consider Australia to be a good example for anything let alone this.

MAGA probably won't, but people not beholden to any party will.
MAGA won't. WOKE won't. The 'D' and the 'R' need to be replaced for it to get fixed. Both the 'D' and the 'R' need to be replaced. Are you on board with that? Most people aren't. Which is why we are going to continue to have gerrymandering in places like Illinois and California and even Texas.

I'd sign the petition.
You must not live in a state gerreymandered by Democrats.

Actually a decent programmer should be able to develop a program that equalizes district populations while minimizing district boundaries. But that would be too logical.

A gratuitous insult highlighting an ignorance of Australia! He explained exactly why.

What insult?

And no - he gave no reasons.

He claimed that Australia was superior because they are a "full democracy" - which he has no basis for claiming.

The US is a Constitutional Republic.

And no one has convinced anyone that redistricting is somehow wrong in any way.
