Did I not account for that? Candidates of all parties can present any number of candidates. People in rural areas would still have a choice. In Illinois, it wouldn't just be Chicago liberals voting. There are conservatives in the whole state. They would elect their share of representatives.

My design may not balance everything, but adding to it could resolve those issues. Redistricting, in its current form, will always be hyper-political and abused. There has to be a way to take that out of the equation.

My number one comment is that "districting" is not a constitutional guarantee. If the current system is broken, as it so clearly is, why not look at alternatives?
