It works because of the state's smaller population -- 4 congressional districts -- and the way counties are laid out in a grid pattern. Each of Iowa's 99 counties remain intact.
Unlike most of Wisconsin's gerrymandered districts, where some counties (shown in red) are split to GOP advantage.
Grothman said he was also opposed to the concept of independent redistricting commissions because there was no way to ensure those bodies would be truly nonpartisan. Wisconsin's neighbor to the southwest, Iowa, has had such a system in place for decades.
"I don't think you get independent [commissions]," Grothman said. "I mean, right now, when things wind up in court, I know the congressmen in other states, I know particularly in Pennsylvania, felt the impartial judges were not at all impartial."
