    Gerrymandering could be stopped by having a computer program draw congressional districts or proportional representation.

    Gerrymandered districts are generally computer-generated and have been since the late 1970s.

    The fascist social media platform algorithms are all computer programs. There’s nothing inherently fair about something just because it’s been coded. It depends on who wrote it and for what purpose.

      Correct, but the computer program would not be designed to gerrymander. Peer-review would ensure that it does not gerrymander.
