dividing vs gerrymandering although gerrymandering may seem like a politically loaded term that violates the npov principle going by the current entry on gerrymandering it's appropriate and does not violate npov in the case brought by dems against the gop to fight redistricting the dems argued the new district lines were drawn for racially motivated reasons the gop argued back that it was done strictly for political gain this is the very essence of gerrymandering and i suggest the word can be restored and should be because it is more descriptive npov writing doesn't need to be weak
