U.S. SUPREME COURT - The Redistricting Cases

U.S. SUPREME COURT - The Redistricting Cases
Q:  The real question, state's rights vs political rigging (aka unfair elections)?

My Answer:  You take any state total population and divide that by the number of House Representatives for a state, and the result (rounded up) is the number of constituents each Representative will have.  Then mandate that a state unbiased committee draw the lines to effectively contain that number of constituents; disregarding the party affiliation, race, gender, sexual origination, or citizenship of the constituents.
