The feds having anthing at all to do with it would be quite clearly unconstitutional. Any change would have to be in the states. And each state individually would have to change it's laws if not their state constitution as well. To have the feds do it would take a constitutional amendment that three fourths of the states would have to ratify. I think we both know thats not going to happen. if you feel that strongly about it, start with your own state's politicians.
no thanks. they are the ones doing the gerrymandering. it's the same way in every state.
As long as government at any level is involved, it can easily be manipulated by the party in power.
not if we only use census generated population density data to draw the districts. everyone who believes in democracy should oppose gerrymandering.
