What does gerrymandering mean?
The practice of manipulating electoral district boundaries for political gain, often to favor one party over another. This can involve dividing a region into smaller districts to dilute the voting power of a particular group or to create districts with a majority of voters from a specific party.
Example
"The gerrymandering of the electoral district led to a disproportionate number of seats for the ruling party."
