No, but it is done and is something as voters we need to be aware of and try to remove.
fair
Gerrymandering is not fair, unless you consider fair to mean 'fair game' in the sense that it is not illegal everywhere.
Quite simply, it doesn't.
There is a difference between redistricting and gerrymandering. Redistricting to keep voting fair and equitable is legal (although it may be challenged in court). Gerrymandering is drawing the voting districts in some way that increases or decreases the elective power of the votes cast in those districts. Gerrymandering was one way that the Northern Ireland Protestant Unionists kept power in the province when there were as many or more Roman Catholics in a given area. Gerrymandering is always unconstitutional since the Constitution guarantees equal rights to all.

Cons: Undermines the principle of fair representation and distorts the democratic process. Can lead to polarization and lack of accountability among elected officials.
Affirmative Racial Gerrymandering
The primary goals of gerrymandering are to manipulate electoral district boundaries to favor a particular political party or group, thereby maximizing their chances of winning elections. It aims to dilute the voting power of opposition groups (known as "cracking") or consolidate them into a single district (known as "packing") to reduce their overall influence. Ultimately, gerrymandering seeks to secure political power and maintain control over legislative bodies, often undermining the principles of fair representation.
