If you want to know why Republicans look aghast at so-called "Independent Commissions" just look at how the California Redistricting Commission was gamed by Democrats to gerrymander seats in their favor. This packing of GOP votes is a pretty clear gerrymandering tactic. The CA Redistricting Commission purposely snaked Kevin McCarthy's district to soak up GOP votes in order to make 2 potentially competitive seats Democrat.

The irony of North Carolina redistricting is that the rules allow Republicans to draw a map like this were put in place by Democrats in attempt to gerrymander Republicans out of power. The reason Gov Roy Cooper (D) can't veto the maps is because Democrats in 1996 took away the gubernatorial veto to prevent a Republican governor from vetoing their gerrymanders.
