What is the term for the process of redrawing electoral district boundaries in the United States?

Gerrymandering.
Lobbying.
Filibustering.
Redistricting.

The correct answer is: Redistricting.

Redistricting is the term used for the process of redrawing electoral district boundaries in the United States. It is a constitutional requirement that is carried out every 10 years after the U.S. Census determines changes in population and demographic shifts. This ensures fair representation and equal voting power for all citizens. Gerrymandering, while also related to electoral districts, refers to the manipulation of those boundaries for political gain. Lobbying is the act of attempting to influence decisions made by government officials. Filibustering is a legislative tactic used to delay or prevent a vote on a bill. None of these options accurately describe the process of redrawing electoral district boundaries.
