Then let's mandate districts have to adhere to existing county lines.

It doesn't eliminate gerrymandering but it prevents some of the sheer insanity we see today

I looked it up after posting, and studies seem to show that there's only so much a minority party can gerrymandering the majority with the more seats there are.

Third, increasing the size of the House may, in fact, help to fix the issue of partisan gerrymandering. The more districts there are, the harder it becomes to gerrymander effectively. Increasing the size of the House means more accountability, better representation, and increased diversity in Congress.

The more seats you need to gerrymander, the harder it becomes. Splitting a pie in 10 pieces is easier than splitting in 100 pieces.
