What is one extreme solution suggested to combat gerrymandering?

Eliminating voting districts entirely is viewed as an extreme solution to combat gerrymandering because it addresses the root problem of how political boundaries are drawn and the manipulation that often occurs within those boundaries. Gerrymandering typically involves drawing district lines to favor one party over another, which can skew representation and dilute votes. By eliminating districts, the traditional system of drawing lines that can be manipulated would be bypassed altogether. This approach would potentially shift towards a more direct form of election, possibly using at-large voting or other systems that do not rely on geographic districts, thus minimizing the ability of legislators to manipulate boundaries for partisan gain. This radical change could lead to a more equitable electoral process, although it also raises questions about representation and governance in larger, more diverse electorates.
