Congressional reapportionment occurs when a state gains or loses an electoral vote. Redistricting occurs when the new district is created or a former district is absorbed.

What is the difference between Redistricting and Reapportionment?

Reapportionment, which happens every ten years when there is a census, is the apportioning (or proportional division) of congressional seats (435 for the U.S. Congress since 1911) among the 50 states according to their relative population. Redistricting is the re-drawing of congressional districts within each state, according to the number of seats they were apportioned, again based on the new census data. Reapportionment causes redistricting. Reapportionment is objective data (though how the Census Bureau counts population does involve some political disputes, specifically dealing with how low-income citizens are fairly counted). Redistricting is the part where all of the political battles happen.

What did the Supreme Court justices declare in Miller v. Johnson (1995)?

In Miller v. Johnson (1995), the Supreme Court ruled that the redistricting process in Georgia had improperly used race as the predominant factor in drawing congressional district lines, violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court held that while race can be a consideration in redistricting, it cannot be the sole or primary factor. This decision emphasized the need for a balance between ensuring minority representation and avoiding racial gerrymandering. Ultimately, it set a precedent for evaluating the legality of racially motivated redistricting efforts.
