If you think about it more, you'll realize that it will virtually eliminate gerrymandering! In a 50,000-person district, how much gerrymandering can you do (other than trying to push the house painted green into the next district)?

All the available evidence points to the contrary. I will eventually provide more of that information in the web pamphlet when I have time. But "search your feelings"... think about how much more
connected most people would feel by knowing who their Representative is, especially after he/she calls you
in person, or knocks on your door to ask for your vote. This is a major paradigm shift.
