It is and isn't, I wouldn't call it manipulation exactly. As we have seen, with the way things stand currently, smaller states with low populations have a disproportionate power to affect the overall vote, i.e., the ridiculous situation where the losing party can get more of the popular vote than the winning party. The solution to accuratly remedy that effect is to split the states that have large populations into smaller areas, to try to ensure that the population is represented more accurately overall.

Ideally they would split the entire electorate into regions of roughly equal population.
