In November, the voters of Colorado, Michigan, Missouri, and Utah will vote on initiatives that would set up nonpartisan procedures for redistricting. Thanks to Craig Franklin for this news.

More attempts by the usual suspects to have Donkey control of the rigged gerrymander districts.

Polling indicates the measures in Michigan, Colorado, and Utah are in the lead.
No polling has been conducted on the Missouri measure because it had been in legal limbo with a serious challenge for a possible violation of Missouri’s one-issue requirement, and was actually ordered off the ballot at one point, but has since been reinstated.
My guess is all four (technically five since Colorado has two measures, one for state legislative districts and one for congressional districts) pass. We shall see. Utah and Michigan will probably have the biggest impact in favor of Democrats. A compact Salt Lake County district will elect a Democratic Congressman in most years, and in Michigan, GOP gerrymanders would be undone in both legislative chambers and the congressional map.
