With California leading the charge to counter gerrymandering, should we in Washington state join in as well?

Would our governor even entertain such an idea?

That may have worked before, but the rules of the game have changed. We can't afford to take the high road in practice. In theory we would discuss the pros and cons thoroughly, doing what is best for everyone in terms of representation. When one political party threatens the entire system, the system is already broken.

I'm curious to hear the plan on how the system gets unbroken. Because gerrymandering is further breaking it. Suppose Democrats win control of congress through gerrymandering. What is the plan to return to non crooked districts?
