Gerrymandering is the practice of manipulating the boundaries of electoral districts to favor a particular political party or group. This can be done by "cracking" or "packing" voters from opposing parties into certain districts to dilute their voting power in other districts.<br /><br />Redistricting occurs every ten years to reflect changes in population and ensure equal representation in Congress. The process is carried out by state legislatures, who are responsible for drawing the boundaries of congressional districts within their states.
