No matter what your gerrymandering rules (the term comes from 18th century Massachusetts politician Elbridge Gerry), you're still going to have places like Wyoming with their at-large seat, covering a huge land area.
Also, it already is a rule that districts must be contiguous.

D'oh- I knew I should have hit the spellcheck and it's been edited above.
I suppose that's true as there's not just one central voting location for a district. There are lots of voting locations for each district.
So should we just say that districts should just be strips across each state, based on longitude or latitude and population from the most recent census?
I guess that introduces the problem of having multiple districts voting at the same location but we have some of that not. So why not?
