Me too. Congressional districts may have borders justified only based on criteria such as:
1. Boundaries defined by county lines (with clumps of counties or portions thereof being compact andd not extended).
2. Boundaries defined by straight lines segments intersecting as obtuse angles.
3. Boundaries defined to minimize the ratio of periphery to area below a reasonable threshold (such as that of a square plus 25%).
4. Boundaries defined by major rivers or highways.
5. Boundaries that avoid populated areas.
