Game-changing proposals to end partisan gerrymandering passed in 3 states Tuesday — with the results of a 4th (Utah) pending — taking control of redistricting out of the hands of partisan politicians in favor of a nonpartisan system.
Nonpartisan redistricting proposals were on the ballot in Colorado, Michigan, Missouri, and Utah. Though each proposal differs to various degrees, the goal for all of them was the same: implement a redistricting system that puts the interests of voters ahead of party scheming.
