Gerrymander (V and N): Change voting district line in order to favor political party; manipulate in order to gain an unfair advantage.
This word was formed by combining the words salamander “a small lizard like amphibian” and the last name of Elbridge Gerry (1744-1814) a former governor of Massachusetts. This is because an election district formed by the members of his party looked like a salamander.
