No, dumbass, I said that changing the map may "more accurately represent" party affiliation but less accurately represent other important things. Cattle ranchers may want to be represented by a cattle rancher, and not by a Dallas banker, and so on. I've said this twice, and you are just not bothering to read my posts. You may not be reading this one, either.
Maybe I'm missing something, but you are either speaking of the shapes of the districts, taking no regard for the political gerrymandering aspects of all of this, or you are saying that, somehow, letting people's wishes to be represented by similar genotypes is more important than adhering to a system that counts the rancher's one vote as equally, but no more, important than the one vote of the pregnant Peruvian car saleswoman. The first is nonresponsive to the argument, the second is . . . just . . . weird.
