Redistricting moved 1 in 10 Americans into a new House district, report finds
Mid-Decade redistricting has moved one in ten Americans into new U.S. House districts, affecting 34.8 million people since the 2024 election cycle.
At least one-fifth of congressional districts have been significantly altered by this unprecedented redistricting, with new maps increasingly designed to favor partisan goals over geographic or community considerations.
Protect Democracy warns that partisan redistricting undermines public trust in elections and protects incumbents, urging reforms such as proportional representation or nonpartisan districting plans.
