Answer:

No, I would not expect the borders of a gerrymandered district to apper on a map as a rectangle or a circle or some other recognizable shape.

Explanation:

Since gerrymandering is a political practice that manipulates and re-draws district boundaries for the political advantage of a given group or party, the resulting borders will have a weird shape, different from a rectangle or a circle.

The origin of the term goes back to Elbridge Gerry, who as a governor of Massachusetts in 1812 created a partisan district in Boston with a shape that resembled a salamander. Thus, mockingly, his colleagues named it a gerrymander.

No, I would not expect the borders of a gerrymandered district to appear on a map as a rectangle of circle or some other recognizable shape because first of all, geographic shapes cannot be compared to simple geometric shapes and a “gerrymandered” district would have an odd and bizarre shape, just like what happened when Gov. Elbridge Gerry redrew the Senate districts map – it looked like a salamander.
