Elections in The Cloud

Why not let the voters redraw the districts? By that I mean, create an election for this one purpose - to define the districts of the state.
Gerrymandering is a legitimate part of the political process, the problem is not enough political parties are represented in the gerrymandering process. Open the process to the top political parties in each state and allow the districts to be created in a cloud instead of a GPS location.
The political parties in the gerrymandering process would be determined by the special election. Voters would declare their political preference at the special election. The number of districts determined by the census would be divided based on results of the special election.

Will gerrymandering become a trending topic on twitter?
My answer - I hope so.
I just found a twitter account called "End Gerrymander" the author doesn't have a huge number of tweets so I conclude it is a new account. I decided to follow this account because the author has good links to stories I missed. Seems to be covering every state. Which is good because this is the year redistricting is supposed to happen.
If you want to read current news articles about gerrymandering I recommend following "End Gerrymander" twitter account.

Why is Congress so doggone political?
Item from the Houston Chronicle by Bill King has some of the answers to that question.
King: Gerrymandering to blame for polarizing Congress

My viewpoint is pretty much the same as it has been all along, gerrymandering would be OK if more political ideologies were represented and USA had more Congressional Districts to accommodate the vast assortment of ideologies. Bill King makes some really good points about the results we are all living with these days and he did something I never thought about doing before, he looked up some Primary voting history from gerrymandered districts.

He touches on the problem of being an independent voter and not being allowed to vote in your state primary. And therein lies another problem he did not write about: independent voters are actually part of the problem because we never hear from these voters when it really matters - at the Primary level.
