Both of you represented districts that had more squiggles than a two-year-old's drawing. Do you support Gerrymandered districts? What are the proper times for a district not to conform to an arbitrary border, either based on a mathematical formula or on proportional representation?

I understand the principle in theory and have followed fivethirtyeight and several math based approaches to redistricting. It's a bit like the old saying, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." It's great that districts were created to allow for minority representation at a point in time when it was difficult for minorities to vote, but it's led us to abominations such as the North Carolina 12th. https://i0.wp.com/www.rantt.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/1_sxF6Gjkpm7Ajk17i73iiNw_1200px.jpeg?resize=1200%2C562&ssl=1

Once a precedent that some tampering with natural borders for districts was established, it was a quick journey down a road where no one is happy, districts don't represent the actual population of a state. Trump won NC 50-46, yet R's have 10 seats . and D's have 3 seats in the House of Reps.

By allowing redistricting for "proper" results, we've allowed redistricting for improper results.

Happy Cake Day!

On the next season of Battlebots...

I'm sure that Preston Brooks has a cane to keep the troublemakers in line.

Awesome job. I had chills watching the video that was shown at the 1400 press conference.

How much ground can Perseverance cover? Are there specific type(s) of strata that the team is looking to examine?
