I support creation of new Federal guidelines designed to reduce gerrymandering. The new guidelines should support rational - geographic or population based voting districts, instead of districts specifically designed by the winning political party just to keep incumbents in power.
Why is this important?
Gerrymandering - the setting of voting districts by the party in power has gone on for too long and has gotten too extreme. Voting districts no longer remotely reflect rational geographic boundaries or population centers, but instead are drawn just to keep the party in power, in power. We need Federal guidelines to help set rational voting districts, which will hopefully make it easier for the majority of citizens to vote a candidate out of office if they feel they need to.
