> The defining characteristic of a district is that it is geographically contiguous.
That mattered a lot pre-internet, but theoretically that isn't as important now computers can be used to check 1 voter = 1 vote.
Districts could be redefined to mean something assigned randomly at birth, by lot or people could choose what district to belong to without living there.
From that perspective, any method of dividing the community up is pretty arbitrary.
