while I like to be optimistic about human nature, the ability to find people that don't have political and/or financial interests involved in those decisions is not trivial. The 7.4 Billon people number is irrelevant. No one is going to someone from Sudan to draw districts in Wisconsin-they won't even go to someone from Illinois or Minnesota for that advice.

- jellicle 8y agoWhy not? The only reason for "why not?" is "because I want to bias the drawing process", which is not a good reason.
