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. | | | | Date Created: | 04-23-2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Paper # 30 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000054669 Original UID: 176080 FIRST WORD: Redistricting | |
