Our congressional districts look like a damn impressionist painting
Districts are required to have an equivalent number of citizens and our population is mainly in several large cities which are divided on demographic lines.
On top of that, we have an unusually shaped state. Iowa is damn near a rectangle so there aren’t geographic problems with that.

It is very, very easy to draw geographically coherent districts in Louisiana, using mostly existing parish and other administrative lines.
But then we can't do everything based on race and protecting incumbents, so common sense goes out the window. I mean god forbid any of our districts be competitve.

This is a shitty excuse to support racism.
