Currently, the redistricting of congressional boundaries is controlled by state legislature every ten years. Gerrymandering is the redrawing of districts with the intent of benefiting a political party. It is most often implemented by state political parties with the intent of marginalizing districts of voters who represent the minority party. To gain extra seats, the incumbent party will redraw voting districts so that voters of the minority party will be grouped into smaller districts with less seats. Critics of gerrymandering say these practices allow incumbent representatives to choose their voters instead of voters choosing them. Proponents say that drawing districts is a privilege of the ruling party and have little effect on the popularity of their policies or candidates.

Yes, switch to a multi-member, proportionally selected redistricting system because gerrymandering not only gives an unfair advantage to the party in power during redistricting, but it's also considered a Crime against Democracy aka Democracide
@8KP8Q9T3yrs3Y
It doesn't really matter to me.
@8SGXQ5C3yrs3Y
Yes but the State legislatures must approve the results
@6HDD83R3yrs3Y
Each state should only have 8 congressional districts (regardless of population and size)
@8JN5ZTL4yrs4Y
I don´t know enough to make a decision.
@8HH7SLB4yrs4Y
Not knowledgeable enough
@75KRFBJ4yrs4Y
Yes, switch to a multi-member, independent commission with a proportionally selected panel to prevent gerrymandering
@8FPLGKD4yrs4Y
Yes, the independent commission should be put in place by the House, but the lines themselves should be drawn by an algorithm that takes into account only population density and state or county lines.

Yes, less bias in politics is better.
@7WL6D9Z4yrs4Y
No, allow each state to decide how they draw the districts.
@8C4Q7JD4yrs4Y
I dont really know what this means
