That's not gerrymandering. That's the result of a federal system of government where every state is represented equally in the senate, and on the basis of population in the house.
It's fine if you don't like it, but it's not gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is manipulation of district boundaries. Senate representation of entire states is something else.
