Government / Politics | | English term or phrase: "Packing" & "cracking" | (This si redistricting in the US)
"Packing” a rival party’s voters into overly safe districts gives one’s own party a better shot in others, while “cracking” a rival party’s voters — dispersing them into several districts — can make the targeted district politically competitive for the party drawing the lines. |

| atestar(como sardinas en lata)/ reventar
Explanation:
atestar de votantes del partido contrario
"reventar" un mitín, ya que dispersar ya está en el texto
PD. Para ser justos, diré que no me parece bien la costumbre de "reventar mitines", ni siquiera los de Aznar. Creo que también tiene derecho a decir lo que quiera a quienes le apoyan y le escuchan. Mucha gente de su partido no está con esa linea dura que llevan ahora, a ver si se dan cuenta y reaccionan.
