re: But if states are given the power to redraw district lines whenever they want for what ever reason, then a 3rd party doesn't have a chance.

Catch 22?

Actually, if a third party could draw voters from both parties and independents, then I think they would have a chance. All assuming the rules for getting on the ballot aren't fixed.

"Another reason for a third party. Assuming a 1/3 1/3 1/3 split, or something close to it, no party could gain the clout to fix the game."

But if states are given the power to redraw district lines whenever they want for what ever reason, then a 3rd party doesn't have a chance.
