I’d prefer a mathematical algorithm requiring all districts to be as compact and contiguous as possible. Let the votes fall where they may.

I like it! Using the technology we have today, they could almost cut the cities into neat slices by the street names and city blocks!

Of course, when more white people started buying property in one area, the Liberals would scream that they are trying to create their own white district - because with Liberals it is ALWAYS about race! Or some other contrived victim status.

Sometimes geometric compactness has nothing to do with voters with similar interests.

For example, here is the Phoenix valley, across the northwest are a dozen or so planned senior communities. It is obvious they should all be in the same district, but their layout is linear and stretched out.

That would be nice, but there would still be wiggle room, and that would be the point of nuclear-grade contention, and more lawsuits.
