Which of the following best describes how redistricting can lead to gerrymandering?
When redistricting occurs, political groups try to create districts that have equal numbers of voters.
When redistricting occurs, political groups try to shape electoral districts so that their parties have an advantage.
When redistricting occurs, political groups try to make electoral districts as evenly shaped as possible.
When redistricting occurs, political groups try to create districts that treat all parties equally.

The word “gerrymander” is dated on 1812, in a political cartoon drawn to parody Massachusetts Governor Elbridge Gerry’s who re-drew Senate districts. The cartoon depicts one of the districts, as a fork-tongued mounstrous salamander. Since then, it has been increasingly used as a tool to reposition the electorate distribution. Redistricting arranges states and electorate who live there into geographical territories, but gerrymandering manipulates these districts boundaries. As in the parody described above, gerrymandering will alter and shape electoral districts for a particular party or political group, locating it in an advantageous position.
