I don't think it is unconstitutional given the current structure, history, and wording of the Constitution, but I am willing to adopt an amendment that prevents gerrymandering by requiring all states to use independent redistricting committees to draw congressional district lines and state legislative district lines. Perhaps part of the instruction to the committees could be that they must use logarithms.
Gerrymandering is nothing more that an attempt to take advantage of the predictability of the voters. It only works when a very huge majority of voters do vote straight tickets. Independent voters have the power to thwart the goals of gerrymanderers, and they sometimes do use that power. That happened fifteen years ago in PA-17 and UT-2.
