In states with "Independent commissions" run by academics, Democrats have stacked the deck as well, with California's blue-bolstering map being an example.
Getting outside of New York City, things aren't much better, with disjointed, hacked-up districts meant to compact Democrats into deep blue bastions.
I'm going to give you a different take: Democrats are doing the right thing.
As Redstate reported, both Missouri and Florida Republicans are doing their best to surrender on redistricting.
Texas' new map actually strengthened the position of 12 of the 13 existing Democrats instead of going fully the offensive, and that's one of the maps Republicans are telling us we should be happy about.
The GOP can wake up and realize there is no going back on gerrymandering, or they can sit idly by while Democrats gain seats before the first votes are even cast.
Shows of bipartisanship, especially in issues of distribution of power, do not earn any goodwill from Democrats.
