In the run-up to the 2026 midterm elections, the political parties in many states are working to redefine their congressional district maps to gain every possible edge. From California and Texas to Tennessee and Virginia, redistricting efforts have taken center stage.

In short, gerrymandering has become a central feature of the system, not a bug. But what if we rethink the structure entirely?
