GOP's Texas map has Austin residents sharing district with rural Texans 300 miles away.

This is why I have absolutely no problem with creating new districts pin wheel style centered from Chicago..

Make Illinois 17-0 Democratic!

Same with New York. Stretch districts from city and Buffalo and meet in the middle.

Looking on from Canada, this open gerrymandering now being undertaken by both sides is one of the weirdest things yet in the Trump era of US politics. Gerrymandering is supposed to be undertaken sneakily and with some pretense that it's not really happening! The lack of any shame about it now is startling.

You have better representation. Your MPs represent far fewer people.

We haven't had an increase in the size of the House of Representatives since 1929.
