The case above, where a state legislature is controlled by a political party, affecting the number of seats that the party will likely control in the house of representatives is an example of gerrymandering.

Gerrymandering is a form of political manipulation. It's done by manipulating electoral district boundaries to create an undue advantage for a particular party or group within the constituency. There are several ways to accomplish gerrymandering goals:

  • Cracking (spreading voters of a particular type).
  • Packing (concentrating many voters of one type into a single electoral district).
  • Hijacking (redraws to districts).
  • Kidnapping (move an incumbent's home adress into another electoral district).
