It opens an interesting challenge when the people who disgree with the government over this form the vast majority of the population.

While I "get" the reason for the electoral college, the best way to address gerrymandering is simply to proportion the number of votes in a state to each political party between the number of congressional representative seats alloted to the state. Easy-peesy. Of course the primary use of gerrymandering is to protect the seats of incumbants - regardless of party. In the vein of keeping their seats, the Republican members of Congress have traded their authority as a seperate branch of government to the executive branch in consideration of political protection.
