Just checked in on our Flag Counter to see who has been visiting lately and noticed a new flag:

gerrymander

gerrymander\ JER-i-man-der \ , verb;

1. The dividing of a state, county, etc., into election districts so as to give one political party a majority in many districts while concentrating the voting strength of the other party into as few districts as possible.

Origin: Gerrymander is named after E. Gerry (governor of Massachusetts, whose party redistricted the state in 1812) + (sala)mander, from the fancied resemblance of the map of Essex County, Mass., to this animal, after the redistricting.

That is, unless it's like "the opposite of gay is depressed". In that case, I guess that could be me.
