When it comes to redistricting, it’s a shame we have to involve a constitutional amendment and the Florida Supreme Court. Can’t we just agree on this: Politicians, among humanity’s most self-serving sorts, can’t be allowed to redistrict themselves. They can’t. It defies common sense and human nature. An independent commission–or as close as we can come to that ideal–must handle it. It won’t be perfect, but it won’t be pols picking voters–instead of the other way around.
