Gerrymandering: This is the manipulation of electoral boundaries to favor one party or class. It's like if someone rearranged the furniture in your house so that your favorite chair was always closest to you, making it even more likely you'd choose it.
Redistricting: This refers to changing political borders within a state. Imagine if someone changed where your living room was located within your house - this could affect which chair becomes your new favorite!
Swing Seat: A swing seat is an electoral district where both major political parties have similar levels of support among voters, making elections highly competitive. It's like having two equally comfortable chairs - choosing between them isn't easy!
