It’s an interesting primer. Some districts have already had judges influenced be usage of algorithms but they (the computer simulations) are far from perfect. But it’s a step in the right direction.
Our bigger issues remain:
1) the House has too-few representatives (numbers are capped, increasing population is not)
2) the Senate has too-many representatives (small state protections are used as a cudgel instead)
