MODERATORS
Eventually, in 1955, one province โ Manitoba โ decided to experiment, and handed over the redistricting process to an independent commission. Its members were the provinceโs chief justice, its chief electoral officer, and the University of Manitoba president. The new policy became popular, and within a decade, it was backed by both major national parties, and signed into law.
The trick is to appoint nonpartisan commissioners...
The trick is to FIND non-partisan commissioners. That may be hard in America where "count every vote" is somehow partisan.
I am disappointed. It seems "Mounties" is used to mean Canadians, and not the actual Mounties.
Otherwise a good overview and background for a USA Supreme Court case.

That's dumb. I don't know everyone, but I also know no one who'd refer to anyone other than our nationwide cops as "mounties".

Keep up misusing that word and we'll start Mountie'ing your mom.
