Two communists introduced this. That means it is a terrible idea.
Actually, the process needs to be opened up. Congressional elections are too non-competitive. The States should be able to redistrict whenever they want. The law requiring single member districts should be repealed. The size of the House should be expanded by adopting the Wyoming Rule. Different states should try different voting methods.
And, states should be able to allow recall elections for members of Congress, too.
And populous states should be split up into smaller states so that legislatures and redistricting commissions in big states have fewer seats to play with.
The voters can choose their own voting districts rather having them assigned by incumbent fascist politicians.

petition for new elections – ONE step
(1) Increase size of House (cube root rule = 692).
(2) Apportionment varies by Congress (e.g. a state entitled to 1.2 representatives will have one representatives in one Congress over a decade, and two in the other four Congresses.
(3) Federal government draws districts (just like Canada and Australia). Districts are multi-member, based on CVAP, and like the state as a whole can have a variable representation from Congress to Congress.
(4) Representatives chosen by STV (NZ method).
@DFR,
How would you handle redistricting? For example, if the affinity groups were political parties, in 2020, Oklahoma would have:
35.675 D districts
48.737 R districts
0.540 L districts
16.049 I districts
In 2025
26.907 D districts
53.136 R districts
0.975 L districts
19.982 I districts
Richard Winger needs to stop encouraging assassination by censoring the If0 questions.
