Packing = crowd together; cracking = split apart; redistricting = normal redraw.
Redrawing districts is normal after a census; gerrymandering is the unfair version done for party advantage. The difference is intent and fairness, not the act of redrawing itself. Watch for oddly shaped districts as a red flag.
A party in power redraws a map so that its opponents are all packed into two districts while its own voters form thin majorities in eight — a textbook gerrymander. The opponents may win more total votes yet fewer seats.
Internal boundaries include electoral districts. Redistricting redraws them (normal after a census); gerrymandering redraws them unfairly by packing and cracking to waste opponents' votes and win extra seats.
