Question 8

Answer 1

Answer:

Such a result could be evidence of gerrymandering.

Explanation:

• Gerrymandering simply refers to the act of manipulating the boundaries of the electoral constituencies to fetch calculated benefits in the elections.

• Such an act is usually carried out under the name of reapportionment.

• The ruling party in the federal government is mostly responsible for this as the authority that carries out reapportionment falls under the powers of the federal government.

• There have been alleged instances in which gerrymandering has been done in order to favor specific political parties in elections.
