What nationwide redistricting rules would benefit Republicans the most?

[kwabbit]

A system of special masters drawing districts without adherence to efficiency gap. Drawing districts without regard to partisanship results in better maps and is pretty close to neutral nationwide. Lest we forget that the entire point of the House having single member districts is so the districts reflect the will of specific geographic areas. Gerrymandering is a problem not because it distorts the partisan makeup of state; it is a problem because it destroys communities of interest and defeats the purpose of the House having single member districts.

The decline of 'pork' in bills has severely weakened the geographic connection between a representative and his constituents and allowed for the popularization of gerrymandering. It wasn't too long ago that members of the House were essentially able to succeed in any district regardless of their party, as long as they prioritized the wellbeing of their constituents through pork. Taking that out turns the House into a partisan game. Suddenly you're not John Doe, the representative and voice of Western Lincolnland, you're one of the 200+ Democrats or Republicans and are essentially just a warm body with a party affiliation.
