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 often done following the decennial census to ensure that each district has a relatively equal population. Option A Gerrymandering is a type of redistricting that involves manipulating the boundaries to benefit a particular political party, rather than following population requirements. Option B: Lobbying is the act of trying to influence government officials and policies, but it is not directly related to the redrawing of electoral districts. Option C: Filibustering is a political tactic used to delay or block legislation, but it has no relation to redistricting.
