House Redistricting

[DWPerry]

It should be done by a  truly Independent commission, districts should also be kept "concise and equal" meaning that all districts should have as close to the same amount of people as possible.

Can anyone predict what a completely unbiased redistricting would mean politically?  Which party would have the most to gain from it? 

I could care less which party has the most to gain, it's not about party rights, it's about right & wrong. Hell, you may even see a few "3rd parties" winning seats!!! What a wonderful day that would be when the Republicratic Parties have competition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would it make third parties win more seats?  I just wondered what a map would throw up in certain areas and what the consequences would be for the parties.

On average 1/3 of voter's claim to be "Independent" and roughly 1/3 Republican & the other 1/3 Democrat. A truly unbiased District, assuming a three-way race, would statistically always be a dead-heat. Any variation for candidates stances could easily throw votes to an "Independent/3rd Party". Plus people as a whole are fed-up with the "2 choices" they have and want a change!
