Question

Question 1 (3.5 points) Congressional districts--i.e., single-member districts for the U.S. House of Representatives--are... a) often strangely shaped in order to favor one party or another. b) drawn by the President. c) drawn by the state legislature in each state. d) both A & C.

Answer 1

Option C

Every ten years, states redraw the boundaries of their congressional and state legislative districts after the census. Who does the line drawing varies state by state.

The way districts are drawn can have a big impact on both voters and politicians. It can influence who wins elections, how political power is distributed, which communities are represented, and what laws are passed. This creates a powerful incentive to manipulate district lines for political gain. And over the last two decades, these manipulations have grown increasingly common and sophisticated.
