Excellent news. This must happen on a national level at once, otherwise it will simply be used by minority parties in select states to attempt to further benefit their own.

This can have no bearing on any other state. No other state has the unique, narrow language for citizen initiative that IL has in its constitution. So no other case like it can arise anywhere else.

I meant that if we are going to abolish gerrymandering, it ought to come from the Federal level. Otherwise, it will do nothing to address the problem other than to help whatever party is not in control of "x" state abolishing it.
