I think a major problem here would be how to mathematically define "accurately represent[ing] the actual voting community" in a way that is as objective as possible. If you want to skew the results in your favor, you don't need a perfectly objective description as long as it gets roughly the results you want, but to prevent such abuse does require every detail to be fixed in place.
