Mark Elias urges all Democratic Governors to redistrict 30 seats

[Wiz Imp]

34. I'm not sure where you're getting that, but it does not appear to be true.

I say "does not appear to be true" rather than "definitely isn't true" only because it's not possible to identify what would be a "Max" gerrymander in many states.

In reality, there are currently 15 states with a Democratic trifecta in their state and 23 with Republican Trifectas.

The Democratic trifecta states currently have 133 Democratic Representatives and 30 Republican Representatives.

The Republican trifecta states have 132 Republican Representatives and 44 Democratic Representatives.

But on top of that, Colorado and Washington, despite having Democratic trifectas use an Independent Commission so they would first need a law change (like California) to make any changes.

New Jersey (also with a Democratic trifecta) uses a commission of political appointees.

New York (D trifecta) uses a hybrid commission/legislature approach.

North Carolina which has a Democratic Governor and Republican legislature uses the legislature to draw maps with the Governor unable to veto. North Carolina currently has 10 Republicans and 4 Democrats.
