Sam Wang of the Princeton Election Consortium is promising a review of the gerrymandering which went on prior to last month's national election. There is reason to believe partisan gerrymandering was responsible for the failure of Democrats to re-take the House, since a majority of voters in House races voted Democratic overall. Surely, this would be an unconscionable assault on democratic principles.
It is time to promote a non-partisan method of drawing Congressional districts. Such a method would have to take into account the Voting Rights Act of 1965. But a way should be able to be found to preserve minority representation plus equal representation for voters in general.
