I agree, I would also favor drawing Congressional districts along county lines. This would eliminate the practice of making district lines to favor the parties
Of course I would also favor a voting ban on anyone who receives any form of government money
A good idea but I think we need to do it across the country as I advocated here:

There is no way to get states like CA, NY (where I live) to do this except through a constitutional amendment AND there is no way to get this done but through a constitutional convention (because Washington, D.c. will never go for it).
Now there are some arguments on my post that a con-con is not a good idea but I am thinking that if we have the majority; how can we lose? Why is it a bad idea? But, maybe I am wrong about this....
“Of course I would also favor a voting ban on anyone who receives any form of government money”
Here’s a radical idea.
How about a ban on government handouts in the first place?
Everyone pays the same rate of taxes, nobody gets “special” favors, nobody can buy votes.
