Gerrymandering

[tirwin1]

Don't discount the possibility that the staffers really running things have been keeping both of them drugged up so they can't realize what's really going on.

Given my low opinion of most of them one of DC's dirty little secrets is just how powerful the staffs have become. If we had an honest press corp someone would be doing a deep dive on this.

We just had a Presidency run this way....

1 County
1 rep

All done
Nation wide.


But

There isn't a lawmaker with balls enough to get this going.

Nor,

Is there a judge with balls enough to enforce it

I love the idea but the Dems would figure out a way to break-up counties to get more D reps.

Thinking about it more
It could quite possibly be a better move for 1 County 1 rep at the state level.
If you look, n.y. would be a red state

Many states would change to that as well.

Then have the 2 senators 2 reps scenario in the federal government perhaps

Here's a *very* simple algorithm that could be used for redistricting a state and would make gerrymandering impossible.

Divide the state in half along a north south line such that 50% of the states population is on either side.

Then divide each half by an east west line to make equal population areas again.

Keep going till you have the required number of districts.

Now, that would only work if the number of representatives was a power of 2. But if you change the number of divisions in each step you can get any number you need. Maybe just use the prime factorization of the number of reps you are looking for or something like that.

But, the bottom line is it should absolutely be a simple deterministic algorithm based on nothing but geometry and population statistics.

California Supreme Court Gives Gavin Newsom Green Light to Gerrymander​

The California Supreme Court, dominated six-to-one by Democratic appointees, rejected a Republican challenge to the legality of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) attempt to redraw the state’s congressional districts Wednesday.


The court said that it was all right for Democrats in the state legislature to evade a 30-day minimum for new legislative proposals by replacing the text of existing bills with the gerrymandering language.

Newsom and the state legislature will now pass the new, partisan map, and send it to the voters for approval in a special election in November that will cost upwards of $200 million. The new map will set aside the non-partisan map achieved through an “independent” redistricting process mandated by voters in 2008. Newsom says that he is retaliating against Texas for redrawing its map this week to benefit Republicans.
