The last one, for the reasons Virginia laid out.

Roll Eyes

I'd do a D-tilting(but not strongly) map with a lot of competitive seats. The idea would be not allowing either caucus to go crazy(which hyper-aggressive gerrymandering usually assists) and punishing then harshly if they do.

Do the people who support the removal of Minority majority districts have any reasoning other then wanting to reduce minority representation?

It creates gerrymandering and moves away from compact and fair districts.

Compactness is a stupid measure of fairness.

Compact and fair. Smaller, localized districts with fairer split would create the closest thing to fair districts.

There is nothing about compactness that makes districts magically fairly balanced partisanwise. See the current NC map for an example.
