Redistricting
Every 10 years the congressional and legislative districts within states are redrawn because the districts must be of roughly equal population by law.
Redistricting Timeline
After being adjusted in April, the timeline for Census 2020 counting changed again in August and, as of October, is still the subject of a legal fight. See "Census cuts all counting efforts short by a month" (NPR, Aug 3), as well as coverage of the ensuing legal battle.
