    Gotta do the same for the senate and state legislatures (including governors). Redrawing state lines is not simple.

      The Senate is the trickier one to solve. It was not intended to be a proportional body originally. In the short term, the balance could be impacted by not treating politicians as above the law and actually prosecuting crimes that they have openly committed.

      State legislatures effectively are only going to be fixed with a new court or voters overcoming the gerrymandering.
