The Census Bureau on Thursday is releasing new redistricting data, kicking off a process that favors Republicans
While the goal of the census is to make sure the districts across the country each have approximately the same amount of people, Democrats and Republicans for generations have used the process to draw district lines that favor their candidates getting elected in ensuing elections in a process known as gerrymandering. This time around, as was the case 10 years ago, Republicans will likely have the upper hand due to their control of a greater number of state legislatures and governors' offices, where redistricting decisions are made in most states.More Related News
