gerrymandering and minority representation
Gerrymandering is the practice of manipulating the boundaries of electoral districts to gain a political advantage for a particular group or party. It often involves drawing districts in a way that favors one political party over another. Minority representation refers to the inclusion and fair representation of minority groups, such as racial or ethnic minorities, in political systems. Gerrymandering can impact minority representation by diluting their voting power and reducing their ability to elect candidates who represent their interests.
