[EL] Check out Brewer, other GOP officials critical of redistricting map

[JBoppjr at aol.com]

Very interesting and I am glad to know this.  Where can we find this  
analysis? 
 
When the House Republicans in Indiana proposed a commission, I helped them  
design it to drain the politics out of it.  Ultimately, I felt  comfortable 
with it -- even though I have been very concerned about  commissions in the 
past. The House Democrats, then in a majority, refused and  now the 
Republicans, who gained the majority in 2010, have done the  redistricting 
themselves.   Jim Bopp

In the  last cycle, at the congressional level, the handful of states that 
use  commissions had plans with an average pro-Republican bias of 2%. At the 
state  legislative level, the larger number of states that use commissions 
had plans  with an average pro-Republican bias of 4%. So commissions don't 
appear to have  a systematic pro-Democratic slant, and if anything the 
opposite might be the  case (though the sample size is too small to know for sure, 
and these figures  include all commissions, not just nonpartisan  
commissions).

I think that map also favors  Dems, if only slightly. Latham was drawn in 
with King and has to move  districts to challenge Boswell, and the district 
is swing, but 2/3 of it is  Boswell's territory.
