Maybe in theory, but I see gerrymandering as one of the biggest problems we have in elections. So my suggestion kills two birds with one stone.
The big problem I see with my plan is that you could end up giving the same weight (one vote in the House) to a guy who got 60% of the vote and a guy who got 25%.
There are some kinks that need to be worked out in the alternative plans, but I think we both agree that the current system is flawed.
