    not 100% sure this is corrupt if you've got a long thin highway full of low income housing and muffler shops, in between corn fields (on one side) and nice suburbs (on the other) is geographic compactness more important than lumping demographically similar people to pick a rep ?https://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1454083002561032201 …

        The coastal ones are the least suspect to me. The ones that split cities are the most.

        This but nationally. Self selected voting tribes. You pick which one you join, you get one vote therein. The 435 most populous tribes get a seat to elect a candidate from amongst themselves to. Tribes could be based on profession, geography, Twitter followers, whatever

        A bizarre shape isn't in itself a sign of a corruption of the intent of the process, because people of shared interests might well be sorted in bizarre shapes.

        Many of the bizarre shapes are specifically about lumping "demographically similar" people, where "demographically similar" means "of the same race", because of various Voting Rights Acts.

        On the other hand, sometimes it's about incumbent protection - California had a district in the 90s which had three arms, and a tiny little extension off one of the arms to include the incumbent congresscritter's house.
