establish a uniform, non-partisan method for defining federal districts from which to elect US House Representives.

Gerrymandering has plagued US elections since its inception in 1812 by then Gov. Elbridge Gerry for whom the infamous practice is named. The most recent and anti-democratic impact of tolerating this practice is the 2012 election of US House Representatives where one party holds a majority of 234-201 although receiving, nationally, 1½-million fewer popular votes. Given the nearly 50-50 distribution of votes, the odds of this happening randomly are roughly less than 1 in 15, or less than 7%. Given the near absolute power the House Majority has to set the House agenda, this is a de facto coup d'état of the US House of Representives.
Gerrymandering has been used to disenfranchise or dilute the Hispanic vote, the Afro-American vote as well as opposition party votes. It must be stopped.
