🌟 DID YOU KNOW?
Gerrymandering - махинации с избирательными округами. Эти термином обозначается создание неравных избирательных округов или дополнительных округов под "своих" избирателей для обеспечения победы той или иной партии на выборах. Полагают, что это понятие появилось в 1812, когда при губернаторе штата Массачусетс Э. Джерри (Elbridge Gerry) впервые были созданы такие округа. Очертания этих новых округов один бостонский карикатурист изобразил в виде саламандры. Отсюда название: GERRY + salaMANDER.
