The King just decreed it, so it must be so:

7. Respectfully, that is two separate, albeit related issues. Gerrymandering is the state legislature & governor...

Election oversight falls to the Secretary of State and local registrars, backed by the courts, and the State AG and local prosecutors. There has always been and remains somewhat of a "Chinese Wall" between these functions. Those overseeing the election have no involvement in decisions regarding redistricting. Conversely, the State Legislature and Governor do not have a direct role in the conduct of the election--unless something very unusual has happened or the elected SOS is somehow removed from the picture.

That is the way it has worked throughout our history. Yes, I'm pissed about gerrymandering, but this is a separate issue from other areas of state and local government involved in the conduct of the elections.
