One better is to not have districts at all, and instead use proportional representation, which is what's used in more than 50% of all major democracies around the globe[1]. IMHO, more important than eliminating Gerrymandering, is eliminating the two party system. In truly competitive governments with 10-15 parties holding seats, it's incredibly risky to lie, BS, or ignore arguments. In our two party system most of the arguments are just designed to talk you out of voting at all if you favor the other party. [1]: http://www.fairvote.org/research_electoralsystems_world |

The US only has a two-party system because our method of voting ensures that it devolves into a two-party system. Our two-party system is a symptom of the problem, not the cause.
Give us ranked voting and proportional representation and we'll see more than two parties emerge.
