what is the difference between congressional redistricting and congressional reapportionment
Reapportionment and Redistricting The terms âreapportionmentâ and âredistrictingâ are often used interchangeably, though the two terms are, in fact, very different. Reapportionment and redistricting are both important in the choosing of congressional representatives. How they differ is in what, exactly, that they divide. While reapportionment refers to reassigning the number of House representatives each state may have, redistricting draws boundaries within each state for voting and representation, after reapportionment has taken place.
