Would this be fair - overlay a square grid on a state and then adjust square grid sizes (by combining squares to make then bigger, or breaking them down to make them smaller) to get equal population in each square? Would that even be do-able?

ReplyDeleteWhy not determine districts with zip codes?
ReplyDeleteI have heard that the California model for re-districting is a good model.
