Reply to comment by jdkeith in Another good article on NH Gerrymandering - I think all states should have independent commissions, not sure why some (like the Guv) are so opposed to it. by AMC4x4
Shortest splitline is a clever gimmick but probably not super useful for real life. Sometimes there really are natural (e.g. rivers, mountainsides, etc. etc.) or cultural boundaries that should be respected.
Better would be to get rid of single-seat districts entirely and elect representatives using proportional representation. This is the only way to conclusively eliminate gerrymandering

I support proportional representation.
