People move around. When people move, some areas gain population, some areas lose population. Once every 10 years in the United States, the government takes a census, or counts the people. Each district that sends a representative to congress has to be changed so all the districts in the state will have the same number of people. When the districts are changed so that all the districts become the same size after a census, that is called redistricting.
