The discussion seems to ignore that such a bill would (if I understand correctly) be unconstitutional. States pick their representatives with little federal control.
Were each state to adopt an independent approach to redistricting and a ranked choice approach to each election, it would achieve essentially the same effect as the proposal in the article.
Seems there should just be an open source library (libredistrict or something) that implements standard redistricting algorithms. Each state could specify which parameters to use, and there you go, a reproducible, auditable, fairer redistricting strategy, out of the box.
