Oh, yes, I agree we ought to have a political calculation in how we proceed, of necessity. But that need not imply being equally unethical.
As to how to end the practices, having been exposed, I think the Supreme Court is currently examining the issue of partisan gerrymandering. It actually took me aback that
Prominent Republicans Urge Supreme Court to End Gerrymandering.
Further,
This is how to get rid of gerrymandered districts. Until the courts come out with a potential solution, as the efficiency gap proposed in the Whitford v. Gill, some states meanwhile are trying different ways to draw districts that can reduce gerrymandering and improve representation.
