Congressional Districts

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

House members are elected from single-member districts, reallocated among the states after each decennial census.

Show

A state gaining population can gain seats; a state lagging can lose them.

Watch for

Reapportionment moves seats between states; a different process draws the lines within them.
