How practical/realistic/possible would this gerrymandering-ban strategy be?

Aside from the Dems never doing this, and the threat that they would make threatening noises in CA and NY not creditable, SCOTUS has a case before it, and while I doubt their ruling will be as dire as some suggest, I think it would be hostile to a national law dictating how to redistrict.

The killer however is what would be in such legislation? What is the fix? The Muon2 rules, something vague that is subject to abuse (CA for example is not doing very well, we had the Mathismader in AZ, MI did not do a very good job, and agree or disagree, there is a lot of subjective discretion going on.

As to policy, I stand by the VA approach.

Ofc. Can you plz give Roby a treat in my honour?

Of course! Happy Thanksgiving young man. It's a nice brisk sunny day in the hood to boot, although the main Hoboken water line broke (the ancient pipes have more band aids on them than all the tea in China), so the whole city was without water until about 9 am.

Just a thought on the matter of super-counties, or for that matter super cities, one reverts to keeping whole municipalities, and for super cities, Cervas hewed to the lines of community districts where possible.  Cervas hewed in fact to the Muon2 rules to a remarkable extent, particularly in his final draft.
