We had one but in the end they were affiliated with a party and they claimed they drew districts based on numbers, but what they did was split up blocks of the other party. That way instead of two districts one D and one R, they ended up with three odd districts that are all the same party.

That's sad, but that's how the the winning party works to achieve maximum gerrymandering.  Assure the public that it's independent then pack it with cronies.

That means we have some states that are close to one party running the whole state, which is never good, even if it’s the party you favor.  They tend to make bad decisions when there are no checks or balances.  Eventually, the people rebel.

That's a good analysis of the problem I see.  We lack the balance and compromise that good legislation requires.

There is no balance or compromise anymore.

And that's bad for the country

Independt I vote for the best Candidate, OMHO.
 

For some reason, your text wasn’t sowing.  I went in and removed all the extra HTML code and it showed up.

There wasn't a problem in classic, I saw the posts right away, before you posted about them.

Weird.

They don’t show up in Zeta for some reason.
