I agree. Districts should be drawn by a computer and the sole parameters should be driving radius to polling place and necessary population.

Skin color, Religion, freakishness or normalness should not play into it.

That’s more of a census issue than anything. If the census just recorded pure numbers, there would be nothing to base gerrymandering on.

However, as populations grow and shrink we’d still need a means of deciding who loses a district and where to place a new district.

The Supreme Court believes otherwise.

Majority minority districts were created in response to a SCOTUS dictate.

Math question:

Is there a reason that an algorith could not draw district boundaries to simply minimize the length of the district boundaries, i.e., compact contiguous districts and no gerrymandering possible?
