Yup, there is nothing like my district in Maryland. Nothing. Absolutely ludicrous.
Someone needs to enshrine in law that boundaries must conform to some sort of reasonable geometrical shaping.
Maybe every Congressman should be given a pen and a map, and if he can’t draw his district boundary accurately from memory then we go back to square one and start over.
Yep. Districts should be drawn to enclose the correct number of Citizens so that the length of district boundary line is held to a minimum. Such a map could be computer drawn. The State legislatures could choose from among a set of computer generated maps. This would result in irregular lumpish shapes but gerrymandering would be a thing of the past.
No demographic besides “Citizen” should be tolerated ever. Non-Citizens should not be counted.
A further improvement should be to do away with the present limits on the size of the US House and at least double the size of it in one fell swoop. Thereafter the number of districts could be increased towards some maximum population limit is added stages and the House continue to grow after that as the population of Citizens generally grows.
The resulting smaller districts would be arguably even less irregular in shape. The Swamp would have a devil of a time roping in all the new blood.
REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT GEOMETRY
Absolutely ludicrous.

I did.
All election voting representation districts MUST conform to a geometric RECTANGLE for equality of representation.
All non conforming elections, are null & void, must be retroactively re-voted.
Any Republican Judge worth their weight would immediately pass this.
Any other shape is racist.
