There have been examples in other countries as well. In some European countries in the past, there were attempts at gerrymandering. For example, in a country where there were ethnic minorities, the ruling party at the time tried to draw districts in such a way that the ethnic minority groups were split up among different districts.

It led to a sense of disenfranchisement among these groups and was a real horror story in terms of democratic representation.
