Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Redistricting once every decade following the census results is a common practice, but redistricting twice in a single decade is an unconventional action. In 2003, the Texas legislature, which was controlled by Republicans, redistricted the state, which resulted in a gain of five additional seats for the Republican Party in the U.S. House of Representatives. This move was controversial and protested by Democrats who sued, but the redistricting was ultimately upheld in court.
