This is really well done! Do you have analysis of what this would do nationwide or across multiple states? Optimizing for competitiveness is a metric I hadn’t considered but seems particularly valuable especially towards increasing voter turnout.

How is it valuable? Having a "red" or "blue" district means the congressman is somebody most people can get behind, "our guy in the parliament".

Being around 50% gives you a compromise that nobody trusts and nobody feels the stake in their country.
