News to Me

 I have never head of this, although the article claims it has been around since at least 2017.  Do either of my esteemed colleagues know anything about it?

This is also news to me.  In Michigan we have a recently adopted system where the redistricting is done by a citizens committee instead of the state legislature.  Last I heard they had a draft proposal and were soliciting feedback from the public. At least some of this feedback has been negative, alleging that the plan gerrymanders by race instead of political parties.
