We can keep the districts—which people seem to like—and get rid of the easily-rigged elections by:
- establishing multi-member districts
- electing those members via a proportional (e.g. party list) or semi-proportional (e.g. ranked choice) voting system
The first of these is actually pretty common at the municipal level (think at-large city/county council seats), but unfortunately are almost always chosen by plurality means, which means that the dominant party within the district almost always sweeps. You really need both features for this to improve on the single-member districts.
