The plan to fix it would be proportional representation (independent redistricting is also a good plan for most states but California already has that). It seems to be getting a bit more attention recently but nowhere near a major push for it that I've seen, even here in Oregon where unaffiliated voters outnumber Republicans and are getting closer to outnumbering Democrats as well. I think we have a decent chance of getting independent redistricting in the next few years and hopefully the state supreme court will improve the districting passed by the legislature.
Edit: We also don't have the top two system that California and Washington have and that high number of unaffiliated voters is even under a closed primary system.
Edit2: Unaffiliated voters in Oregon do include most non-voters, unlike some states.
