Citizen Redistricting

Now that you've played the redistricting game and learned the different ways that district boundaries are manipulated to achieve particular political outcomes, check out this article from the New York Times about California's radical new idea of how to draw the boundaries of state legislature districts.  Do you think this plan is a good idea?  What might be some of the advantages and disadvantages to such a plan?  The article mentions that the plan may be applied to the redistricting of congressional districts as well: good idea or bad idea?

Thoughtful comments will be awarded a +1 (out of 40 questions) on this Monday's Congress Exam.  Deadline for comments is midnight Sunday.
