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 to describe the process of redrawing electoral district boundaries in the United States. This is done every 10 years following the census to ensure that each district has a relatively equal population. Gerrymandering is a controversial practice which involves manipulating district boundaries to benefit a particular political party or group. Lobbying and filibustering are not related to redrawing district boundaries and involve different processes in the political system.
