Plenty of people are perfectly willing to draw fair districts. 7.4 billion people on Earth right now, and at least 7 billion of them would be perfectly honest and fair in drawing congressional districts. The fact that the US generally picks people from the tiny slice of committed partisans to draw boundaries is idiotic.
while I like to be optimistic about human nature, the ability to find people that don't have political and/or financial interests involved in those decisions is not trivial. The 7.4 Billon people number is irrelevant. No one is going to someone from Sudan to draw districts in Wisconsin-they won't even go to someone from Illinois or Minnesota for that advice.
They could. Get somebody from out of state, and give them just a raw map with population counts/density/whatever. Heck, do this 3 times, and then get local party affiliates to look them over, and each party can eliminate one of them so the most middle-ground is selected.
