52. computers are the problem
There now exists software that can look at historical voting patterns right down to the ward/precinct level and like a spreadsheet be used to mix and match precincts to create safe districts for incumbents while splitting up big voting blocks for the other party. Yet I think having representation for local issues is desirable. So perhaps the only fix is to move to multi-district elections.
