That the current Gerrymandering has been R driven doesn't mean the Ds are above it. Politicians do it to protect themselves. Math wouldn't care.
This, but the way to do it is to let anyone submit a districting map, and to pick the map that (a) results in district with no more than x variation in population, and (b) has the shortest aggregate boundaries. Repeat every ten years.
