A computer drawn set of Districts wouldn't allow for the ‘consideration of minority representatives’.....so, Affirmative Action for Congress. There is a law that basically says the Districts must be gerrymandered to allow minorities to be elected.....so minorities have representation. But, when I look at the minorities in Congress, most are overrepresented if you compare their percentages to their percentage of Americans. I would LOVE IT if every state was required to go with computer generated Districts, allowing only for an equal population in each District.

“I would LOVE IT if every state was required to go with computer generated Districts, allowing only for an equal population in each District.”

Yeah, me too. I’d also like to see the number of Reps. expanded to something like 4x what we have now (w/o the insane salaries/benefits of course) ... in fact, the more, the merrier. The constitution calls out for something like 1 rep per 30,000 people or something along those lines. The swamp needs diluted. It’d also break that two party stranglehold.

That 435 ceiling has caused about as much damage as the direct election of senators.
