What Is the apportionment of voters in districts in such a way as to give unfair advantage to one racial or ethnic group or political party?
The apportionment of voters in districts to give an unfair advantage to a specific racial or ethnic group or political party is known as gerrymandering. This practice involves manipulating district boundaries to create an electoral advantage, often diluting the voting power of opposing groups while concentrating the influence of the favored group. Gerrymandering can lead to skewed election outcomes and undermine the principles of fair representation in a democratic system.
