Definition

A gerrymandering claim alleges that electoral district boundaries have been drawn in a way that intentionally advantages or disadvantages a particular political party or group. This manipulation, often based on party affiliation, race, or ethnicity, seeks to distort the electoral process to favor one group over another, thereby undermining the principle of fair representation. Such claims challenge the legitimacy and fairness of the redistricting process.
