Two rules that should be in place for redistricting are: 1) Districts must be as close to round-or-square-shaped as possible, and 2) Redistricting must begin with creating central districts for each major metropolitan area and radiate out from there. The problem comes from these elongated, irregular-shaped districts that are formed to try to assure one party over the other. With my plan, each big city would have one round- or square-shaped central district which would be surrounded by more round- or square-shaped districts, and these would continue radiating out with larger (in land area)districts on the edges due to the incorporation of rural areas. If an isolated rural area had enough population to meet the requirement, then it could be less round- or square-shaped to finish out the mapping.
