    By creating barriers in certain districts it’s going to disproportionally going to affect those people, for example long lines, changing someone’s voting district, removing someone’s registration. There are tons of ways.

      Right. Voter suppression. That’s what they said.

        No, gerrymandering is when you set up a district for the specific benefit of yourself. You should look it up. Stacking and packing are important terms.

        My comments for examples of voter suppression

        Edit: though gerrymandering is a form of voter suppression
