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 process of redrawing the boundaries of electoral districts. This is usually done after the census is taken to accommodate population shifts and changes. Gerrymandering, although often associated with redistricting, is a form of manipulating the boundaries for political gain. Lobbying refers to efforts by individuals or groups to influence lawmakers and politicians. Filibustering is a tactic used by politicians to delay or obstruct the passage of legislation. While these may be related to the redistricting process, they are not the term used specifically for redrawing district boundaries in the United States.
