as a result of gerrymandering, state legislatures may create district boundaries that

□ limit a groups voting power.
□ affect the states total population.
□ favor one political party over others.
□ form districts with varying population sizes
□ create districts that have odd shapes.

Explanation:

Gerrymandering is a political tactic. It aims to limit a group's voting power (e.g., by diluting votes of a particular group), favor one political party (by concentrating or dispersing voters of different parties), form districts with varying population sizes (to benefit a certain party), and create oddly - shaped districts (to achieve the above goals). The state's total population is a fixed demographic fact and not affected by gerrymandering.

Answer:

• limit a group’s voting power.
• favor one political party over others.
• form districts with varying population sizes.
• create districts that have odd shapes.
