Redistricting (434.0K)
Running a Congressional Election Campaign (701.0K)

Redistricting ensures that a given geographical area is fairly represented in congress; however, it also offers politicians, citizens and interest groups alike to voice their causes and exercise their influence. Choose a role: State Legislator, Interest Group Chair, Republican, Democrat, Independent, etc., and advocate your position on the redistricting of a given area as called for by census results. Read the rules and provisions and process of redistricting and learn more about the area: the people, groups and interests of which it is comprised. Then, based on this information, and the special interests of the persona you have chosen, participate in the redrawing of district lines, hoping to capture the areas and people that best suit your cause, while still careful to observe the rules of equal distribution and disbursement.
