Remember, whenever you hear a leftist complain about gerrymandering, because its almost the only thing keeping them in power. To paraphrase Mr Bannon, we're red nation with a few blue cities.
If you use non biased districting, it virtually wipes out the Democrat tickets as they exist today. 538 used to have an algorithmic map showing how you could create districts to favor Dems or Reps and the only way to give the Dems an advantage was to maintain the current maps or gerrymander them further. Any even map put the advantage on the Rep side.

Same with RangeVoting's Split Line, though any computer program for districting would need to be fully open source. -> https://www.rangevoting.org/SplitLR.html
