I'm still wondering how ZIP Codes are "unconstitutional" and a sign of the government scamming you, HR and AW.

I thought ZIP Codes were for mailing and statistics, not government stuff, which congressional districts are for.

Now if you are to talk about the gerrymandering that happens in a lot of districts, now that would be an actually interesting topic.

For example, the infamous 4th district of Illinois, with 75% Hispanic voters, separating two districts (3rd and 5th) with 78% White voters each while strangling the 7th district with 62% Black voters. Not to talk about entire states having only 1 district.

As I said in another thread, if you are to keep the electoral college and the districts, at least do a proper gerrymandering with districts with the same amount of population and that is bound to geography, not ethnicity, color of the collar, voting preferences, among other weasels.
