A computer program that is nonbiased need computer programmers that have no interest in politics. States do not have unlimited powers in running elections. For example, they cannot gerrymander based on race. They can gerrymander based on party affiliation because there is no means of determining what is too much partisanship, but with a computer program there will be none.
Writing an unbiased program to redraw political district maps requires political awareness. Having “no interest in politics” won’t help with that. And you’re continuing to demonstrate why that’s dangerous.
And for the last fucking time, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CANNOT DICTATE HOW STATES RUN THEIR ELECTIONS. Now stop trying to claim otherwise.

Nope. It needs programmers who can work apolitically, even if they have a preference.
The difference is ethics, and if a coder isn’t ethical, he’s useless and untrustworthy.
Correct. That’s the reason for peer-review.
