Obviously the answer is to make the country's population much smaller. ;-)

A larger Congress is unlikely to make the country better. As long as the redistricting process makes most districts "a sure thing" for one party or the other, your voice (w/o some monetary "lubrication") is unlikely to be heard no matter the number of constituents.

A higher number of smaller districts won't bring an end to gerrymandering. They make it even easier with more normal looking districts. Even with a total population of 1,000, ten districts, and evenly split political beliefs--you can gerrymander it so that one has a clear advantage. All it takes is mostly 60/40 districts favoring one party, and a few 100% districts favoring the other party. In this instance, the party that controls redistricting would have an 8-2 advantage.
