  1. Effects of the 2010 Census

  2. Reapportionment • The periodic reallotment of U.S. congressional seats according to changes in the census figures as required by the Constitution.

  3. Redistricting • A constitutionally mandated redrawing of local, state, and federal political boundaries every ten years following the US census. The lines of Assembly, Senate, and Congressional Districts are redrawn to reflect changing demographics and population shifts

  4. Goals of Redistricting • To punish the opposition or to reward your friends • To protect incumbents or to discourage challengers • To enhance political party strength or to minimize the strength of the opposition party • To increase minority representation or to decrease minority representation

  5. Supreme Court Limits on Redistricting • Lines must be contiguous or connected • Districts must be equally populated • Communities of interest must be protected • Districts must be compact • Districts cannot be drawn solely on race • Redistricting cannot dilute minority voting strength
