[ "Countermandering" ]
1: The strategic redrawing of electoral district boundaries in Democratic-leaning (blue) states as a direct response to partisan gerrymandering by Republicans in red states. While gerrymandering typically aims to entrench power unfairly, countermandering is framed as a defensive or corrective measure intended to restore electoral balance and representation.
Derived from “counter” (against, in opposition to) and “gerrymandering” (manipulating voting districts for political gain).
* e.g., ... In an effort to level the electoral playing field, state lawmakers in Illinois engaged in countermandering to offset aggressive gerrymandering tactics used in Texas and Florida.
