Redistricting, the process of redrawing geographic areas within which eligible residents within that geography vote to elect their representatives, can be equitable or biased (gerrymandering), depending on how it is done. The purpose of redistricting is to ensure voting districts accurately represent population and demographic changes, in order to provide equitable and meaningful representation in Congress and state legislatures. Understanding the process matters, which is why the Stanford Redistricting Project created DrawCongress.org in order to help educate law students and undergraduates on the process, as well as give them the opportunity to participate in redistricting themselves - through data analysis and map-making. We worked with the Stanford Redistricting Project to relaunch DrawCongress.org in 2020, helping to note only update the site, but also provide mechanisms that allowed students to easily interact with and update maps and plans.
