Redistricting and gerrymandering have led to current deadlock and also changes the result of a potential election. Gerrymandering is “manipulate the boundaries of (an electoral constituency) so as to favor one party or class.” Gerrymandering gives one political party a better chance of winning than the other, which leads to an unfair political election.

Redistricting is the process of setting up district lines after reapportionment. Gerrymandering is drawing district boundaries to give one party an advantage. At-large refers to a statewide vote. Censure is a vote of formal disapproval of a member's actions.
