But if there's a big regional split in geographic bias, then evaluating the maps nationwide might yield a different perspective. Perhaps a map with a Dem majority in TX and an R majority in PA/MI/WI might be fair--or at least far more fair than it seemed from any single state — PolitiTweet.org

One of the odd consequence of state-based redistricting is that each state map is evaluated independently. Similarly, the gerrymandering tests are all applied by state: if you draw a map with 5Rs and 3Ds in WI or 22Ds and 16Rs in TX, you have a gerrmander — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, that's not the way maps are drawn or evaluated now. But it's interesting that, technically, I do think that congress could do a national redistricting commission-or state commissions subsidiary to a national evaluation of partisan balance — PolitiTweet.org
