Wow.

Isn’t there some legal standard that districts need to be at least somewhat geographically compact?

Well, I guess that’s what the court will decide in this case.

I think it would be nice to use computer technology, and draw districts that are as geographically compact as possible, and with districts being as equal in population as possible.

Computer tech would be perfect, but the Libs have written into the laws that districts must be drawn up to give minorities an advantage, so minorities will have representation. Not kidding. Allows the Libs to gerrymander to their heart’s content.

You mean, “no obtuse angles”, or at least very few (to account for state boundaries).

That is the problem...allowing ridiculous obtuse angling in the geometry allows this kind of snaking.

Whatever happened to the Constitution...all men equal under the law?
