You knew that… District designed by Elbridge Gerry and its interpretation like a salamander Example of district product of gerrymandering: District 4 of Illinois for the Selections to the Congress of 2004

Gerrymandering is the technique of geographic design of the electoral districts used to favor or to harm to a certain candidacy in selections, mainly in majority electoral systems. The technique consists of the design of the districts of such form that the fishing-grounds of vote of a certain candidacy are concentrates in a same district, thus excluding those sections of the population to obtain representation by other districts. As a result of this technique, employee still today in different contexts, an political group can end up obtaining more representatives than another one with a number of votes very superior.

The name of this technique must to Elbridge Gerry, governor of Massachusetts between 1810 and 1812. On the occasion of electoral elections in this State, it designed an electoral district of a little conventional form with the purpose of to benefit to his party, the Party Democrat-Republican. The journalists of the time indicated that the district designed by Gerry had salamander form (to mander, in English). Thus, since then this phenomenon is known by gerrymandering.
