20. Members of Congress shall pass federal legislation that outlaws gerrymandering in congressional and in state legislative districts to put an end to the Incumbency Protection Plan of Washington.

Gerrymandering is reprehensible, but you want the federal government to further intrude on the power of state legislatures to define and administer the district lines within their respective boundaries?

No, not especially. But I don’t want it to block addressing gerrymandering either. So instead of simply throwing up your hands and says it’s impossible to change, lets get together and come up with a plan to get it done

I, myself, am thinking of either a Zip Code system or a Area Code.
