The answer is gerrymandering.

Gerrymandering refers to intentionally rearranging the boundaries of electoral districts for political gain. It gives one party an unfair advantage over its rivals.

Filibustering is a political action where politicians will purposefully make a long slow speech in order to use up time so that a vote cannot be taken and a law cannot be passed. It is an obstructive action to make sure there is delay in law getting passed.

Pork barreling is when a lot of government money is spent on a certain local project in order to win votes of the people who live in that area.
