I agree, if he spends more time working to improve the country and less time sitting on the toilet tweeting mean things he may actually win the popular vote in 2020.
Please consider signing this petition to eliminate gerrymandering by using an open source algorithm to draw congressional districts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13453662 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13453662
- maxerickson 10y agoA big problem with that petition is that "fair" is a big, fat loaded word that is essentially meaningless. One definition of fair: minimize geographic size of each district. Another: maximize demographic uniformity of each district. Another: maximize demographic diversity of each district.
- Floegipoky 10y agoCompletely true, which is why I'm hoping that lawyers from organizations like the ACLU and NAACP will be included in the team. Hopefully they would be able to come up with a reasonable working definition of 'fair and representative' that can be optimized using publicly available information.
