Describing electoral districts that have been deliberately shaped to give unfair advantage to a particular political party.
Past participle of 'gerrymander,' maintaining the root etymology from Elbridge Gerry and 'salamander,' reflecting the historical 1812 incident that gave the word its name.
Some gerrymandered districts are so twisted that they look like abstract art—one district was a thin line connecting two faraway neighborhoods, designed to dilute the voting power of voters the ruling party didn't want to help.
