What are 2 examples of gerrymandering in georgia?
Gerrymandering: Following the 2000 census, Georgia's first attempt at redistricting the state senate was thrown out for systematically under-populating then Democratic-held districts and systematically overpopulating then Republican-held districts throughout the state. In Wesberry, the Court struck down a Georgia redistricting statute (Ga. Code § 34-2301) because its voting districts were unequal in population. ChaCha on!

About Gerrymandering
Gerrymandering is a form of political corruption that creates a political advantage for a group or party by manipulating voting districts to create a district with a desired demographic makeup. Gerrymandering can be used to generate a positive outcome, such as assuring the representation of minority groups, or a negative outcome, such as assuring that one party will more likely be elected.
