I must say that I strongly agree with this article about redistricting. I have been incredibly unhappy with the way that legislators around the country have cherry-picked the citizens they want for the districts to where they election for all intents and purposes becomes moot. The states of Washington and Iowa have a clever way of handing these redistricting jobs to special courts and, as has been in the past and currently this year, the lines are completely out of sync with incumbents and actually more reflective of the citizenry of the state. California's redistricting process for its congressmembers was a terrible act of incumbent protection to wit everyone already knows who will win and by how much. Pathetic!
