What is the term for the process of redrawing electoral district boundaries in the United States?

  1. Gerrymandering.

  2. Lobbying.

  3. Filibustering.

  4. Redistricting.

The correct answer is: Redistricting.

Redistricting is the term for the process of redrawing electoral district boundaries in the United States. It is not lobbying, as lobbying refers to the act of attempting to influence government decisions. Filibustering is also not the correct answer, as filibustering is a tactic used in Congress to delay or block legislation. Gerrymandering, while a common practice during redistricting, is not the specific term for the process itself.
