Problem Solvers MAPS Act

This bill sets federal rules that every state must follow when drawing its congressional districts. Each district would have to be made of connected territory, be as compact as practicable, and have populations as equal as practicable under the Constitution. Districts could not be drawn to favor or disfavor competition, an incumbent, a candidate, or a political party. States would also have to consider keeping existing counties, cities, tribal lands, and towns together. These rules would apply to districts created on or after the bill becomes law.
