Your Definition
The systematic distortion in an electoral system where certain groups, geographies, or ideologies are structurally over- or under-represented due to rules like gerrymandering, first-past-the-post voting, the electoral college, or voter ID laws. It's not about random error, but about engineered advantage. The bias is baked into the map, the ballot, and the rules of counting, ensuring that the translation of votes into power is never a clean, neutral process.
