No. Gerrymandering is simply drawing political districts to conform with the requirements of population distribution resulting from the census. The name gerrymander is a result of the efforts of Mr. Gerry's attempt to draw the district so as to encompass only those areas he thought would support him. The newly drawn district looked like a salamander, hence gerrymander.
