This Reimagined District Map Could End Gerrymandering

Just about every new election season, there’s another conversation about the inherent unfairness of the current electoral college method for selecting a President. How can a candidate lose the popular vote and still become President? Yet the reason for the system is logical, to prevent candidates from ONLY campaigning (or caring about) the biggest cities and forgetting about anyone in between.
So how can this be fixed? One bold idea is to group the country into regions based on geography instead of by States. The problem, of course, will always be that the politicians in charge of fixing this problem are the ones who benefit from having it broken in the first place.
