@dhstokyo@techhub.social As a #wisconsin resident, home to some of the most awful gerrymandering in the country...please can we have some of this?
When one party can win every statewide election, but only win 36 of 99 legislature seats, that doesn't seem like "equal protection" to me.

And, as I'm posting this on mathstodon: I wish my erstwhile colleagues at the #uwmadison math department would take the "Wisconsin idea" a little more seriously and were more active in trying to get mathematical tools -- geometry, fair division, game theory -- for better citizen representation in our government.
