[EL] Citizen Redistricting Commissions

[Kathay Feng]

Brennan Center's Citizens Guide to Redistricting has a chart of state legislative processes: pages 29-36.  http://www.brennancenter.org/publication/citizens-guide-redistricting . Also has a brief description of selection processes.  BTW, there are a many local jurisdictions that have also adopted commissions, some more independent than others. San Diego, Austin more independent; Los Angeles, San Francisco, less independent.

Nick Stephanopolous and Eric McGhee are generating a lot of  comparative research on outcomes by different metrics of success.

Could anyone point me to a good source on data regarding which states use citizen commissions or other non-legislative bodies to perform the decennial redistricting of their Congressional or state legislative districts, and any analyses of the results of such efforts?

Off-list responses would be fine.  Thanks,
