Wesberry v. Sanders (1964) established the principle of "one person, one vote," requiring that congressional districts be roughly equal in population. This ruling aimed to eliminate significant disparities in representation, which often favored rural areas over urban ones. As a result, states had to redraw their congressional maps, leading to an increase in the representation of urban and suburban populations. This shift altered the political landscape, contributing to greater Democratic representation in Congress, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, as urban areas tended to lean more Democratic.
