WhatS The Fairest Way To Allocate Legislative Seats To Different Constituencies? WhatS The Least Distorted Way To Draw Voting Districts? Not The Way We Do Things Now. Democracy Is Mathematical To Its Very Foundations. Yet Most Of The Methods In Use Are A Historical Grab Bag Of The Shortsighted, The Cynical, The Innumerate, And The Outright Discriminatory.
