Political parties often try to gerrymander voting districts to A- to gain a political advantage.

What is gerrymandering?

Gerrymandering is the political manipulation of electoral districts.  The purpose of gerrymandering is to create an undue political advantage for a party. Political parties use two principal tactics in gerrymandering:

  • Cracking (division)
  • Packing (consolidation).

Thus, gerrymandering does not ensure an equal chance for all candidates, prove that parties deserve the voters' support, or keep each voting district the same, but it gives an undue political advantage to a party.
