gollark: Really, relying on these arbitrary divisions in the first place is stupid.
gollark: No, I mean it could give one or the other a non-population-related advantage due to differences in the geometry of some kind.
gollark: I guess it's possible that even one which doesn't know about parties might accidentally be biased due to (hypothetically, I don't know if this is true) one party being popular in low-density areas and the other in high-density, or really any other difference in locations.
gollark: You don't actually need simple shapes very badly as long as you have an algorithm which is not likely to be biased.
gollark: Okay, rearrange the states so they're square.
