Too many forget, or don't know, that while Repubs got the seats, they lost the votes. Gerrymandering trumped democracy for at least the last 3 Congressional & state elections.

1. I think it would be good.

I think going to zip codes would solve everything.

2. why would you want zipcodes redone after each census?

The Constitution requires voting districts to be refigured after each census.

4. Oh maybe it wouldn't work

But something needs to change.

3. I have been assured that, vote counts notwithstanding, it is the fault of Progressives and liberals

that we lost. Evidently we liberals were supposed to sell our houses and fucking MOVE to gerrymandered districts. We bad.
