There's a very simple way to end this gerrymandering nonsense, an idea I've had that I've never seen anywhere else that would solve the problem and let people waste time and effort on other things.

Every time there's a redistricting, anyone who wants to can submit a redistricting plan. The plan that gets used is the one where (a) each district has no more or less residents than a pre-set floor and ceiling (perhaps whatever is used now), and (b) has the shortest aggregate borders.

That's it. Compact districts.
This kind of stuff takes all the fun out of the legislative sporting process.
