Gerrymandering

I have to agree with Kayla and Hannah that the most effective form of redistricting is proportional gerrymandering.  This process makes the most sense because it is the only form that best avoids the backlash of disproportionate representation, which is, according to CGP Grey, "by far the worst problem of gerrymandering".  Although this way isn't completely free of bias, like the shortest split line method, it keeps things fair by letting the representatives of each district represent equal amounts of people which is proportionate to the state's population.  The method of shortest split line would not be the best choice because it too sporadically chooses district lines and honestly was very confusing for me to try to comprehend so therefore not many people will be able to understand it.  A bipartisan committee would be the worst choice because the incumbency rate would increase if the people in office are the ones creating district lines because they would gerrymander so that they get elected again.  This is not fair or democratic in the slightest.  Lastly the independent redistricting commission process wouldn't be a good choice either because they are very similar to bipartisan committees in that they typically group together similar groups which makes very noncompetitive elections and keeps incumbents around.  It is odd, but the best way to get rid of the bad affects of gerrymandering and malapportionment is with more gerrymandering.
