4. Federal laws for this are not a solution

You are not going to get politicians benefitting from this to vote for it nor will the voters that support them support it either. Laws can change with the law makers. The legislative filibuster is on burrowed time rather we get rid of it or republicans do it first. We can take the majority in both houses and win the Presidency and pass a federal law to ban gerrymandering, but the republicans will have the conservative Supreme, but the moment they get back in power they will repeal such a law. You need something more lasting like a constitutional amendment which also won't happen. Our only viable alternative is to counter their gerrymandering with our own gerrymandering.
