Not sure on the exact method, but I agree districts should at a minimum, somehow, be objectively drawn without intent to benefit a particular political entity.Anyhoo, would really like the algorithm method of dividing up districts. Shortest route to cut a area in half, then repeat until you get the needed number of districts.
The Rules
Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)

Section 5 proscribed areas that required special federal "preclearance" to make changes to things like voting laws or voting district composition.
