I'm not a good mapmaker, so I won't make a submission in the exercise. However, it is extremely nauseating when it is pointed out so vividly that the politicians choose the voters just as much as the other way around.
I don't think we should take extreme measures to maximize the competitiveness of every district. Our House elections would be so damn volatile even if the House were full of Moderate Heroes. Of course, states have to be readjusted for changes from the Census. I want to maintain one man, one vote as much as the next guy. It's just the whole redistricting process is the ugliest part of the whole sausage making festival that is American politics. I haven't given the matter a lot of thought, and I'm sure there are just as many arguments against it, but this thread very much makes me wish we had proportional voting. Excuse me while I go throw up now.
