gerrymandering and community cohesion
Gerrymandering is the manipulation of electoral district boundaries in order to gain an advantage for a particular political party. It involves redrawing the boundaries to concentrate or disperse certain groups of voters. Community cohesion refers to the social integration and sense of belonging within a community. Gerrymandering can impact community cohesion by dividing communities and diluting the representation of certain groups, leading to decreased trust, polarization, and undermined democratic processes.
