Districts should be as close to politically similar as possible.


I don't know why people care what shape a district is.

Districts based on geography are arbitrary and do not necessarily result in representation for the people in it.

The worst type of district would be a 50.1% for one party and 49.9% for the other party (using the two parties for simplistic reasons rather than including those who don't identify with a party like me).

Nearly half the people would essentially not be represented in the House in Congress.
