gerrymander

Description

A gerrymander is the cartographer’s dark art of twisting electoral districts to produce desired outcomes. It is a political trick that corrals voters’ will into a labyrinth. Outwardly honoring the procedures of democracy, it secretly steers constituencies toward a favored party. By etching division and animosity into the map, it becomes a devilish blueprint for political victory.
