Personally, I'd prefer a system that's as close to neutral as possible. I believe a couple of states (maybe Iowa) have this. Right now I live in a city that's been divided into three districts for no reason other than to get more of one party elected. Some precincts have even been divided. I don't care who's doing the line drawing, this flat-out sucks. (In this case it's the Republicans getting their revenge for years of Democrat gerrymandering).

That might be fine in theory, but get the Voting Rights Act repealed as part of the process. As long as redistricting is a political process, which that legislation requires, then I don't think we should be apologizing when things go our way.
