Democrats wrote the book on gerrymandering.
What I find hilarious is that the Texas dims fled to states
that are probably among the biggest gerrymandering states in the union.
For the record as I have mentioned before, I do not support gerrymandering
as it is currently being implemented.
I get it that districts change and that needs to be addressed to ensure fairness however I would suggest evaluating districts maybe every 5 or 10 years
and adjusting accordingly.
Maybe not feasible I dunno.

I've looked into district boundaries - and, really,
there's NO way to draw them while claiming anything
sane/reasonable. It's always been politics first
and foremost.
If the pop was utterly homogeneous then you could
kinda just draw boxes. The pop isn't that way and
never will be.
This is one of the gotchas of 'representative democracy',
who represents whom and why ?
Can a downtown boy really 'represent' farmers and
hicks out in the countryside ? Nope. Can someone
from Mayberry really represent the downtown boys ?
Nope. Who gets to represent the most people and why ?
Are their people more or less 'equal' or wealthy ?
You just can't get there from here using anything
remotely like the current system.
And I've thought about it and STILL can't see an
alternative that performs anything like the Founders
envisioned. It'd take a radical, dangerously radical
and partisan-tweakable, total revision of how we
get "representatives".
I guess some shit is just LIKE that. Human-made
systems, human-made problems.
Maybe we DO just have to go to "big squares" and
hope for the best. Of course some squares will
have 1000 people and 500,000 acres of desert - and
yet be 'as equal' as the big cities. Tuff titty ?
Oh well, there's always kings/nobles - Harry is
waiting to be Prince Of The Americas :-)

I don't see a solution to this.
The country is just too diverse in terms of population and
types of jobs, living situations, housing, cost of living etc.

So, as suggested, Big Squares no matter how many
people or how much money might be inside them.
They'll all get lazy and corrupt in DC anyway ...
No, you ignorant fuck. The seat districts within a state *must* all
have roughly the same number of people in each district. That's a
constitutional requirement.
It's not a FEDERAL law ... the Fed stays out of
such state matters.
It's SCOTUS decisions, you ignorant fuck. Reynolds v. Sims and Wesberry
v. Sanders.
So, the STATES can implement the Big Boxes plan.
No, they can't. Each congressional seat as well as state legislative
seats have to have roughly the same number of people.
You really are an ignorant cocksucking fat fuck.
You seem to have badly mis-spelled that last item
in the groups list
Nope. I don't allow posts to go to alt.politics.trump

He's kinda thick between the ears.
He's trying to use "One person, one
vote" decisions to justify including illegal aliens in the census for
the purpose of redistricting.
There's just one problem with that, illegal aliens can't vote.
