Surely the only way to deal with this issue is to encourage the States to apply a nationally uniform formula which rigidly defines the calculations for electoral boundaries to minimise manipulation, ie encouraging the constituencies to be as circular as possible around a population area to make it harder to do infamous 'one block wide, three miles long' bpoundaries. As long as it was applied nationally it affects both parties equally and keeps your reps from getting too complacent.

The real question here is this....who cares? All of the elected folks that go up to Washington forget why they were elected and then they screw up the works for the rest of us poor working stiffs. Demorats and Repubs do it, and I just don't care anymore.
