Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what your argument is.

Yes, over time, districts have become more and more convoluted. That's the reality of politics, because it's been politics that has determined the redistricting. Cut that out with plain old math, and you cut out the crap.

And just how do you think this math based system is going to get implemented? With the support and the votes of the people that are going to get kicked out of office by the change? That would require a lot of altruistic politicians, a breed that, if not mythical, is at least extinct.

This is just using math to make up fair districting.

It's not the technology, it's the implementation that becomes a political issue. Whether based on math or science or voodoo or magic, all political solutions are first and foremost based on *politics*. Those who forget that fail.
