Same Voters, Different Lines, Different Winner

Описание: 100 voters, 60 for Orange and 40 for Green, split into 5 districts of 20 neighbors. The voters never change, only the lines.
One map gave Orange all 5 seats and another gave Green 3. Across 10,000 random maps, Orange won 3 seats on 78% of them, never won all 5, and Green won 3 on 273 maps.

How this was made: I wrote this simulation in Python and ran it (10,000 random maps plus a computer search for the most lopsided maps). Seed 17000. Orange and Green are made up sides. Maps are random equal size districts of connected neighbors; the lopsided maps came from a computer search. No real parties, states or districts.
