Ohio has the redistricting reform measure, I don't think it's a non-partisan commission though.

The independent commission proposal in Utah is still ahead as of now.

Iowa is also a commission

Kentucky has wording in the state constitution about redistricting that restricts gerrymandering.

I think they have a minimal county splits?  If so, that would save Yarmuth as his district would have to be drawn entirely within Jefferson County (Louisville).  I don't think it is even possible to draw a Trump district there?

So far, I've got this:



Red = full Democratic control
Blue = full Republican control
Green = mixed or non-partisan commission
Gray = at-large seat

Or are there any new states with commissions?
Maryland is under court order to redraw its congressional districts by 2020.

That will get appealed to SCOTUS.  It's a partisan gerrymandering case, so if they rule against Maryland, congressional maps would need to be redrawn for 2020 in upwards of half the states.

Maryland's AG has already appealed to SCOTUS: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/maryland-will-appeal-partisan-gerrymandering-decision-to-supreme-court/2018/11/15/e934edfa-e6af-11e8-bbdb-72fdbf9d4fed_story.html

If their map is overturned, they will make sure every map in the country where the process was controlled by one party is overturned.
