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 correct term for the process of redrawing electoral district boundaries in the United States. Gerrymandering is a form of redistricting, but it specifically refers to the manipulation of district boundaries for the benefit of a particular political party or group. Lobbying and filibustering are both unrelated processes that involve influencing government policies or procedures.
