"In contrast to North Carolina's Republicans, Indiana's did a remarkably good job of drawing sensible district boundaries. The same holds true for Nevada's Democrats, although with only four districts, the district boundaries in Nevada are dictated to a large degree by the state's borders." (America’s most gerrymandered congressional districts, Christopher Ingraham)

U.S. Politics. The dividing of a state, county, etc., into election districts so as to give one political party a majority in many districts while concentrating the voting strength of the other party into as few districts as possible. Most of the people know that the better way of gerrymandering to work is in small strangely form that is not compress with the congressional districts and Indiana’s congressional districts are strangely form because they are enormous to impede gerrymandering to happen. Moreover, Nevada has one of the largest and ordinary shaped congressional districts in the nation and that’s why it is not a problem in the state. The reason why I chose this passage it is because it demonstrated the expanse of how the congressional districts size can be impact or influenced the expectation of gerrymandering to happen.
