One solution is to quit restricting the boundaries for house of representatives to state lines. The district could be drawn using a public mathmatical formula and a computer thereby eliminating the gerrymandering. I wholeheartedly support eliminating gerrymandering. But that doesn't completely address the issue of proportional representation. Specifically, that's why I picked ND, they only have one rep. The whole State is the district. And that's the case with many of the smaller States; I think there are 8 States with only one member in the House. All 50 States have two Senators, proportional representation means 2 Senators no matter how you cut it. The devil is always in the details. jttmab
