It's not like Republicans wouldn't have drawn a gerrymander if they had control. Maryland's map isn't nearly as ridiculous as the maps of Pennsylvania and Ohio.

"Independent commissions," as established in Arizona and California, bizarrely enough, both have created blatant Democratic gerrymanders (in Arizona's case, twice in a row).

California is not a gerrymander, you can't fairly draw more Republican seats than the commission drew. Arizona is allowed to use competitiveness and that's what they did with their map, which still has more Republican safe seats than Democratic ones.
