So then without making other more fundamental changes we would have to gerrymander. In fact a number of strange looking districts are gerrymandered with creating a majority minority district as the stated goal.
I believe we need structural changes to really solve this problem but absent that, I think having a computer algorithm that has the following priorities in the following order:
1) Compact (ie smallest circumference)
2) Least number of axis points and smallest difference in the sides.(ie a square is the goal)
3) Least number of wasted votes (ie use the proposal from the supreme court case)
4) Least change from a previous district (maybe not for this first run)
