    Such a result could be evidence of gerrymandering.

    Explanation:

    Gerrymandering simply refers to the act of manipulating the boundaries of the electoral constituencies to fetch calculated benefits in the elections. Such an act is usually carried out under the name of reapportionment. The ruling party in the federal government is mostly responsible for this as the authority that carries out reapportionment falls under the powers of the federal government. There have been alleged instances in which gerrymandering has been done in order to favor specific political parties in elections.
