I support what cali and ar have done, having non partisan boards draw the maps. gerrymandering is supposed to be banned, yet it still happens. one of the many things wrong with our political system.
Ideally even a non-partisan board wouldn't be necessary. Computers could draw districts depending on the population density, which is what is supposed to drive the districts in the first place within the state borders. The census data could be fed into an algorithm to adjust the district and show the before and after maps to make sure nothing crazy happened.
