For a better idea that has worked elsewhere and allows voters to "district" themselves, check out the more competitive and representative gerrymander-proof proportional representation electoral systems discussed at FairVote: The Center for Voting and Democracy.

DemSymps and RepSymps in the mainstream media don't want you to know about these more democratic alternatives.

This article inaccurately paints Fair Boundaries as a partisan issue. While it's true that the redistricting process was abused by the current Republican legislative super-majority in 2001, Democrats have done the same when they've had the chance.
It's not a partisan issue. The system needs reform. Fair Boundaries is about creating a better system, and sending a message to the legislature that we, the voters they were elected to represent, care about fair representation for our communities.
