I disagree with this. Minority/majority consideration shouldn't be made. You can divide each state into containing squares and for border states, shapes with two right angle (L shaped) lines attached to the border line, each cell containing the same population with 5% margin.

So you're cool having a party with 49% of the vote but none of the seats? Is that representative democracy?

49% of each district? Yeah, didn't win the majority. The squares have equal population not size,so rural places get large squares and cities get smaller squares but each are nearly equal in population. This helps the majority of any square, but right now being a majority of your district has no meaning at all because they use race and predicting who will vote how. I ask you back, is that not rigged? Does it make sense for states with more than 50% of people voting for one party to remain in contril of another party because they drew the lines to suit them?
