That would take care of the problem for good.With redistricting done at a national level with a Super-Computer with only three parameters:
-State borders
-population
-geography and logical connectivity
A computer, rather than the statehouses, would set the congressional district boundaries. Race, gender, age, social status and partisan breakdown would play no role in the drawing of congressional boundaries, but geographical obstacles would. For instance, if at all possible, a district would not be drawn with a mountain chain splitting it into two halves. Additionally, Gerrymandering would never ever happen again. And for this reason, the Census should be changed from a once in a decade occurence to always be set to be one year before a Presidential election year.
I wouldn't willingly give the Federal Government one tittle more power than it already has...in fact, we need to take a good bit of it back.
I never said the Federal Government should do the redistricting. The states should, but using a supercomputer, as I indicated.
