I would like to see something based on a public (open source) algorithm with small-count polygons of a minimum of size that only operates on regions of mostly equal population and surface area subject to implementable geography/roads/county lines + no other data. Take it national
In the wake of our victory in breaking the supermajority, I’m hearing overwhelming calls for ending gerrymandering. I am with you 1,000%. I know there are many Republicans ready to do this, and I’m ready to work with them. We must get this done.

Form a nonpartisan/bipartisan/whatever committee. Let each party, citizen group, whoever submit whatever plan they want. The committee has to choose between choices submitted. You would have to aim for middle ground, or risk having no chance.

There’s no shortage of good ideas on how to do this. That’s not the issue. The issue is leadership allowing the bill to come to a vote. They still don’t have to, but we have an obligation to redouble our efforts and find a way to get it done.

Thanks. Hopefully we will get there. No one likes to give up power/control. Even we (I) need to care more about preserving democracy, than maintaining power.

Put marijuana on the ballot in 2020. It’ll get young voters we desperately need to turn out and vote blue... not to mention it will provide a nice financial boost to the state.

Please take a page from Colorado's book: Highest voter turnout in the US because ballots are MAILED to voters, and we just passed two Amendments to create an independent commission to draw Districts.

A few red states voted to end partisan gerrymandering this mid-term. No reason we can't do it , too.

Yes!! NC's Gerrymandering and voter suppression has made our state more like a dictatorship than a democracy. Who can forget this N&O editorial?https://www.newsobserver.com/opinion/op-ed/article122593759.html …

There is no such thing as "Independent" redistricting commissioners. There are only democrats who deceptivly change their registration to 'Unaffiliated'. Independent redistricting is a democrat fraud. Prove me wrong.pic.twitter.com/HeBpT1ghlG
