Say if a committee of Republicans were tasked to draw electoral districts, they would obviously draw them to lopside the results in their favor, right? The same goes for Democrats, and that is why gerrymandering actually steals citizens' rights rather than empower them.

Absolutely, both Democrats and Republicans, if given the chance, could use redistricting to their advantage. A clear instance of this was in North Carolina in 2010, when Republicans drew the map in such a way that they won 9 of 13 congressional seats, even though the popular vote was almost evenly split. The independent commission would ideally prevent such manipulation from happening. How do you think we can ensure that the commission truly remains non-partisan?
