1. It's actually quite hard to phrase a law that would ban it. The district boundaries have to get drawn somehow. You'd either need to change the US voting system to get rid of districts entirely or legislate a specific mathematical algorithm to pick the boundaries.

2. The people who could ban it are the people who benefit from it. Even if they did understand the math that they'd be voting on to replace the "let's draw them ourselves" process, why would they do so?
