In what way might gerrymandering thwart the purpose of members being elected on a single-member district basis?
Gerrymandering can distort the electoral process by manipulating district boundaries to favor one political party over another, effectively diluting the votes of certain Demographics. This practice undermines the principle of fair representation, as elected officials may not accurately reflect the preferences of their constituents. Consequently, instead of voters choosing their representatives, the design of the districts can predetermine electoral outcomes, eroding trust in democracy and reducing accountability.
