Data Gerrymandering

Intentionally changing what the data actually show to fit a claim furthering an agenda. Anytime someone ignores, suppresses, or alters findings, results, data or statistics to fit their agenda. This could be media skewing a graph to hype fear (ex. of violent crime, drug use), politicians ignoring data needed to accurately assess a policy (ex. Lead in the water), social scientists beefing up a study's results to be published, companies claiming a product is safe (ex. Pharmaceutical clinical trials), and everyday users of Twitter who offer a "poll" to show what 'everyone' thinks.
The graph showing the increase in violent crime nationwide was obvious data gerrymandering because the statistics were only taken from the cities with populations over 1 million.

The Senator was gerrymandering data when he said that giving ex-felons the right to vote would mean all the convicted terrorists will be able to cast a ballot.

G-Spot Jerrymandering

A coital action where you cross your wrists and begin to insert every finger into a female sex partner's vagina, then continue to push inward until all but the thumbs are inside. Turning your palms out facing you with wrists still crossed, you do an 8 finger stroking session along the entirety of the vaginal cavity including the G-spot. Continue this until your partner taps out from overstimulation.

gerrymandarin'

The sneaky re-drawin' of property/municipality-lines to benefit Asian-related interests, either a sub-group of the human race or citrus-farms.
I hear dat gerrymandarin' is a huge problem in da world's major small-and-pumpkin-shaped-citrus-growing regions, what with da huge profit-greedy mega-farm conglomerates wantin' to hog all da good crop-land real-estate.
