Occasionally I wonder if it would be possible to let districts be completely dynamic, by allowing each voter to choose what district they wanted to vote in. Geographic proximity would no longer be a consideration (except of course that the district has to be entirely within the state); a geographically distributed interest group could form a district, if they were sufficiently numerous.
We would want the districts to be relatively stable; huge numbers of people changing districts right before an election would be too weird. And of course, we would want the system to overall increase voters' sense that their vote matters and that they are being represented well.
I haven't come up with a set of rules that could make this work, but I haven't thought about it all that hard. Seems like it could solve the gerrymandering problem, though.
