Now it is more of a mainstream view in my party and I think largely becoming more popular with the U.S. when it comes to Congress. We are in this carnival of gerrymandering when the reality is districts should be fair. Right now, 435 seats in the U.S. House, about 40 of them at most, are competitive.
