Shortest Split-Line Method is the Best Way

I agree with Carrigan, Zach, and Sarah saying the best way to end gerrymandering is by using the shortest split-line method to evenly, and fairly divide up the districts. The shortest split-line method uses math to evenly divide up the map by drawing the shortest lines possible and continuously dividing up the region into sections until there are the appropriate number of districts. Since this method is based purely on math, this solves the biggest problem of gerrymandering, dividing up the districts so they are fair and no incumbent or candidate has an unfair advantage in the election. Also, as CGP Grey mentioned in the video, there is no way to be certain that even the most fair judges and experts are not deliberately shaping the districts in order to benefit their party since as Hobbs has said, all people do what is in their best interest and worry about themselves. Since the shortest split line method uses only math to split up the regions it is the most fair way. However, even though the method is the most fair, there can be a few negative results from the method. Since the districts are divided randomly, it is a possibility that one region could unintentionally be filled with people of the same party with the same beliefs. This would cause an unintentional skewing of the districts which looks like there has been gerrymandering there, even though it was not done on purpose. The likelihood of this occurring however, is extremely unlikely and does not happen a majority of the time. Therefore, the best and most fair method for redistricting is the Shortest Split-Line Method since it is based purely on math and is not deliberately drawn in favor of any party.
