You don't gerrymander a county's borders. You gerrymander the congressional
district the county belongs to.

I.E. to make sure that the respected senator from Yahoo consistently gets re
elected, the state legislature, being of the same party, decides that he
will represent Alpha, Beta and Delta counties, all of whom have large K'Kree
populations and therefore support his mandatory vegetarianism position.

Of course, the next time that the Vargr Party controls the state
legislature, the respected senator will find the boundaries of his district
have changed to include Alpha, Gamma and Epsilon, with giving his district a
large Vargr populations who will promptly vote him out of office.

Gerrymandering is a hobby of Hivers.

That's what I thought too! I am still confused by what Cougashika meant.
