Now I realize the Legislature is working hard on such bills as designating a state insect but maybe they should concentrate on more important issues.
Terminate the gerrymander
Now this really looks like a plan that Montana needs to look at. Get the power of redistricting out of politicians hands and into some non-partisan body. I realize this would be hard to do but it would be well worth it. The politicians will never give up their advantage and do this is the only problem. Maybe a initiative drive would be the answer, something to think about.
Politics in the United States consists of the struggle between those whose change has been arrested by success or failure, on one side, and those who are still engaged in changing themselves, on the other. Agitators of arrested metamorphosis versus agitators of continued metamorphosis. Harold Rosenberg

Yes, we need to make political districting as non-partisan as possible. It is too easy to rig the election, especially with the fancy new gerrymandering software.
