Gerrymandering can't be outlawed. It happens all the time and is a powerful tool to help enfranchise people as well as a weapon to disenfranchise them when used incorrectly.

What should happen is take the power to redraw voting districts out of the hands of partisan groups and make a cross-party commission to oversee the process.
