With all the news on various states gerrymandering their house districts, I wanted to see how hard it was to NOT gerrymander and have fair districts. So, I attempted and made one for NC and its 14 house seats. I followed the following rules as I built out the map. Link to map: https://districtr.org/plan/382147

  1. All 14 districts must contain approximately the same population. No one districts population can deviate more than 10% from the goal of 745k per district. (745K comes from the 2020 census population for NC divided by 14)
  2. A county cannot be split into two separate districts, except for Wake and Mecklenburg County. The population of Meck and Wake County will be split equally into two separate districts.
  3. The counties that make up a district must be contiguous

Let me know if you think it is fair … or not. What would you change? Will the US ever ban gerrymandering so bored people online stop making fake maps?
