Title

  • Redistricting In Illinois: A Comparative View on State Redistricting

Description

  • States regularly redraw the boundaries of their congressional districts and their legislative districts. The United States Constitution requires this process to be conducted every ten years,directly following the census. The idea behind regular redistricting efforts is centered on ensuring that each person is equally represented in our government. As populations change, redistricting efforts are meant to ensure that voters continue to be represented equally. However, the process of redistricting has always been a topic of controversy because it has been freighted with concerns the process is unfair, partial, and corrupt.
