Everything East of the Mississippi goes to the lunatic liberals (including all the wetbacks), everything West of the Mississippi the Conservatives get to keep.
Think about it; the western states have most of the minerals, most of the hydro power, most of the usable timber, and most of the arable land.
Or you could just draw a line from Port Arthur on the gulf coast to Sioux Falls South Dakota to Winnipeg Canada.
That way they can keep all the nut cases in Iowa and Minnesota.
All you good conservatives in the Southern States that I have cut off behind enemy lines; we will help you move free of charge, ain’t fair to make you pay for something beyond your control.
I’ve never been good at visualizing redistricting.
In college I graciously shook hands with the young John Conyers who presented various Michigan redistricting plans to our political science class. (Yes “young” it was about 1966 or so). He showed a perfectly fair and honest map and flipped the easel maps to one his Dem Party was going to implement. Got a big laugh but it did get enacted his way.
People good at this like you and Sarah Barracuda should get together and devise a board game with various scenarios and geographical areas for the players to work with.
The game could serve as a think tank for people of all ages to work this out, as well as dream of getting liberals away from us as a wish fulfillment strategy to relax.
