This could serve as a good example of how politicians manipulate voting areas to ensure majorities. The results are probably correct, but the result is misleading.

Gerrymandering was the very first thing that popped into my head when I noticed the most populace city in my country lose out to what's basically a town because it ended up on a grid with another country's city. I nearly started a "that's clearly a mistake" comment before realizing what had happened.
