I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Political parties most often try to gerrymander voting districts in order to gain a political advantage. Gerrymandering can be best defined as drawing political boundaries to give your party a numeric advantage over an opposing party. Hope this answers the question.

Political parties often try to gerrymander voting districts to A- to gain a political advantage.

What is gerrymandering?

Gerrymandering is the political manipulation of electoral districts.  The purpose of gerrymandering is to create an undue political advantage for a party. Political parties use two principal tactics in gerrymandering:

  • Cracking (division)
  • Packing (consolidation).

Thus, gerrymandering does not ensure an equal chance for all candidates, prove that parties deserve the voters' support, or keep each voting district the same, but it gives an undue political advantage to a party.
