So, do you guys support making districts that make no attempt to collect people with similar occupations, political views, societal interests, or whatever?

I support making districts that are not drawn to benefit one political ideology or another.  And anyways, that's a pretty moot point when you consider that we have districts the size of Vermont.

You can't keep districts coherent without potentially taking some political factors into consideration, or at minimum things that strongly correlate.  That's kind of the nature of the beast.  I mean, otherwise, what's the point of geographic representation?  Why not just have voters choose a representative by their last name?

I mean, if you'd be cool with that, it would make perfect sense, but I'm wondering Tongue.
