quote:I finally got a Dem on Reddit to admit that to me, who then went on to argue "That was then and times were different. Doing it now is just racist bs." I pointed out the Dems always fall back on cries of 'racist' when they fail to effectively argue against a policy or law they don't like. So the person got mad and blocked me.
They've been following the old political rules that the democrats abandoned a decade ago.

Gerrymandering is already against the law.
"Political" gerrymandering is legal. Race-based gerrymandering is currently legal if it benefits proportional minority representation, illegal if it has the opposite effect ... but SCOTUS is looking at that rule in Louisiana v Callais, the lawsuit over Cleo Fields district.

The Supreme Court had ruled in Davis v. Bandemer (1986) that partisan gerrymandering violates the Equal Protection Clause and is a justiciable matter.
No, it did not.
It held that a partisan gerrymandering claim can, in at least some situations, be justiciable. But it ruled for the State in this case - that the gerrymandering was legal.
quote:
The Court again upheld that partisan gerrymandering could be justiciable in League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry (2006).
That seems to be a case where the Court ruled that the State violated the Voting Rights Act in diluting minority representation - not that partisan gerrymandering is illegal.

You would do it in a manner where one AI system is designed to receive the exact same input as two other AI systems with the exception being that each AI must protect a particular ideological stance (one for Republican, one for Democrat and one for Independents) and they effectively must argue between the three AI systems until a stalemate is reached where any additional changes or deviations would produce an unbalanced advantage for one party or ideology over the other. Then it's up to politicians to sell the people on their ideas and allow the people to vote fairly without any concern or consideration that race or wealth (or lack thereof) had influence in the arrangement of their Congressional districts.

AI could do it in a millisecond. X number of seats with similar population #s as close to a grid as possible.
