Uh, NOTA? I would draw the districts so there is a roughly equal (when adjusted for the recent election) number of Democratic and Republican districts, and a number of swing districts, so that each state sends roughly the "correct" number of Reps from each party based on how it voted in 2020, while allowing for enough swing to reflect the naational/state mood if there's a wave. I'd rather have MMP, but if we absolutely have to do it this way let's do it right.

All I know is the MA-01/MA-02 boundary and the MA-07/MA-08 boundary would be history.

Would you put the boundary between Springfield and Wilbraham, and then through the Quabbin? I think that's the least terrible way to do it.
