End Gerrymandering

There are 435 members in the United States House of Representatives. The most populous State of the 50, California has 53 Representatives. Nothing in the Constitution requires the division of States into single member districts.

Corruption
In 1812, Governor Gerry signed a bill that redistricted Massachusetts to benefit his Democratic-Republican Party. One of the contorted districts resembled the shape of a salamander. The joining of Gerry and Salamander gave us the "Gerrymander".

In a perfect world all districts would be compact as possible. Instead politicians routinely contort districts to favor particular groups or political parties. Today there are Congressional Districts in many States that violate voter neutrality.

Gerrymanderers try to achieve two goals: maximize your team and minimize your opponent. It can be done by dividing the opponents forces so that they aren't strong in any one district. The other tactic is to concentrate your forces into fewer districts so that those forces are unstoppable in those districts even if they are a minority in the State as a whole.

A Possible Solution
Representatives should be formed into multi-member districts. In Phase One, Voters will write-in their choice. Twice as many Candidates as seats will move on to Phase Two. Voters will then choose one person from the remaining pool of Candidates listed on the ballot. Voters will vote for one person to represent their interests. Total votes will be tallied. The top vote winners will be elected to Represent the district.

For example, in a five member district ten Candidates will be placed on the ballot. From that list, voters will choose one person to Represent them. The top five will be elected

Math
There are 435 Representatives in 50 States. That's an average of 8.7 per State. That led me to limit maximum district size to nine members. States that have less than nine Representatives will have one district. States that have more than nine Representatives will have more than one district with division as equal as possible. Currently thirteen The following list shows apportionment and the number of districts for each State.

53 (6) California

36 (4) Texas

27 (3) Florida, New York

18 (2) Illinois, Pennsylvania

16 (2) Ohio

14 (2) Georgia, Michigan

13 (2) North Carolina

12 (2) New Jersey

11 (2) Virginia

10 (2) Washington

Aftermath (Cons)
Districts will be larger. Voters will be forced to be more educated.

Aftermath (Pros)
Voters will have a larger selection to choose from. Candidates will have a larger constituency to draw from. Candidates will be forced to run positive campaigns. The focus will be on why to vote FOR a candidate not on why to vote AGAINST someone. Gerrymandering will be difficult and much less effective.
