Is gerrymandering an example of voter suppression? (Yes or No. Why?)

Yes, absoluetly.

Explanation:

Voter suppression is a strategy used to influence the outcome of an election by discouraging or preventing specific groups of people from voting. This is literally what Gerrymandering is when they pack or crack districts (usually by using race as a factor) to give one district an advantage in the vote. When state legislatures use Gerrymandering, they are giving one district more an advantage, which means the other districts aren't getting much of a say in the vote. An example of this could be Shaw V Reno case where district 12 was being gerrymandered unconstitutionally by race.
