I think where a lot of anti-Gerrymandering articles fall short is showing how districts should be proportioned. And that's because there is no way to fairly decide on district boundaries. E.g. Say district lines are drawn completely at random, so whichever party gets the most votes in a state is also very likely to win every district, resulting in a pure winner-take-all system. So any system will have to allow for some Gerrymandering just to make sure the opposing party gets some representation. Which really just means the system of single representative districts is broken, the only descent solution which is used by more than 60% of all democracies around the world is the use of Proportional Representation. But just getting rid of Gerrymandering won't produce a fairer system.
