It’s an interesting primer. Some districts have already had judges influenced be usage of algorithms but they (the computer simulations) are far from perfect. But it’s a step in the right direction.

Our bigger issues remain:
1) the House has too-few representatives (numbers are capped, increasing population is not)
2) the Senate has too-many representatives (small state protections are used as a cudgel instead)

I read that article the other da and found it very enlightening!

“Human rights can only be assured among a virtuous people. The general government ... can never be in danger of degenerating into a monarchy, an oligarchy, an aristocracy, or any other despotic or oppressive form, so long as there shall remain any virtue in the body of the people.” — George Washington
