Yes, you read correctly, the 535 folks whom 80 percent of Americans dislike make these momentous decisions.

One thing I worry about is a contingent presidential election. That situation arises when no candidate gets a majority of electoral votes (270 of 538). Should this situation arise, Congress gets to pick the next president and vice president.

      I think 40 states would be on board for a gerrymandering ban for congressional districts, if that gets through it would be a matter of building on that.
