diddly-squat said:The US is a federation where each state is given the (constitutional) right to run their own electoral process. I’m not sure that a federally run system would ever fly there, but I think that fifty independent redistricting commissions would be a huge win for electoral politics in general.
Each state in Australia also has its own Electoral Commission. As a system, it works well.
And federal elections are run by the Australian Electoral Commission, one system for the whole country for federal elections, no tinkering or sleight-of-hand by States.
Sir Joh tried every way he could when he was emperor of QLD.
