1. Districts should have the fewest amount of county splits as possible
2. If the county has to be split then townships should remain intact
3. Districts should be as compact as possible
4. Those should be the only rules…unless you approve of gerrymandering
I have no problem to setting AI down with nothing but population maps and have it draw districts based on even population and compactness. If we want to add in counties and townships, fine. No race, religion, age, voting patter data, gender, nothing else.
My point above was that in 1982 it was a bipartisan vote in Congress signed by a Republican president that specifically said outcomes not intent. And yet we are told Democrats have rocketed left and Republicans believe exactly the same.

I guess we would have to have some definition on what “rocketed left” means
