I see what you're saying but then the argument becomes voters within the State are having the weight of their votes manipulated by voters outside of the State. Citizens of California controlling the citizens of Georgia. I don't see that passing constitutional muster.
The argument the left always raises is that districts are drawn to "water down" their votes by - for example - putting all the blacks in one single district. The left will have to engage in some pretty hefty double speak to say that SCOTUS aired in striking down the pre-clearance portion of the voting rights act but SCOTUS did the right thing by allowing states to water down the citizen's votes by counting people that don't even live within that State.
