The districting system is a flawed form of democracy. It can be manipulated, and a minority of voters can get a majority representation.
I can understand the origin of it, but not to let it continue when the flawed democracy of it is well understood.
Agreed. Given what computers can do districting should be something done automatically with minimal human intervention. Plug data in and the computer figures out the optimal grid and suggests best places for polling centers for each district. No funny spaghetti monster districts.
