Drawing of political boundaries to benefit a party or candidate?
The process of drawing congressional district lines to favor a political party is called gerrymandering. The word comes from the combination of the name Gerry and the word salamander. Gerry was the governor of Massachusetts in 1812 when the congressional districts in his state were redrawn to favor his Democratic-Republican Party. One of the words was said to resemble a salamander.
Why was gerrymandering made illegal?
Gerrymandering is not illegal in this country. Although it definitely has bad ethical and immoral implications, it is still being used in the United States. Gerrymandering deliberately attempts to disenfranchise certain voters and favor one particular political party over the other.
