Both Democrats and Republicans face criticism for gerrymandering, fueling calls for independent redistricting.

In the ongoing debate over gerrymandering, Democrats are under scrutiny for their own district-drawing practices, particularly in states like Illinois. Meanwhile, Indiana Republicans are opposing early redistricting efforts pushed by former President Trump. Both sides face criticism for manipulating district lines to favor their parties, and experts argue for independent commissions to ensure fair representation. The controversy has highlighted the need for a national solution to end partisan gerrymandering.
