If congressional districting were organized by strictly geographic principles, it would lead to a more fair representation of voters, prevent gerrymandering, and enhance democratic principles.
If congressional districting were organized by strictly geographic principles rather than by the political process in state legislatures, it would lead to a more unbiased and fair representation of voters. By focusing on geographical boundaries, districts could be drawn to reflect communities of interest and prevent gerrymandering, ultimately enhancing democratic principles.
For example, in states like California where the Citizens Redistricting Commission was implemented, districts were drawn not based on political affiliations but on compactness and community coherence, leading to more competitive elections.
By removing the redistricting power from state legislators and giving it to independent commissions that use computer algorithms, the process becomes more transparent and less susceptible to partisan manipulation.
