Redistricting

Okay kiddo, so let's say we have a big playground at school and we want to split it up into different areas for different games. That's kind of like redistricting, but instead of games, we're dividing up an area into smaller parts for voting.

When people vote, they choose who they want to represent them in a group, like their state or their county. But the playground has to be divided up into equal parts so that every area has similar numbers of people in it.

Sometimes, people change where the lines are drawn on the playground so that some areas have more of one kind of person than another. This is called gerrymandering, and it's not fair because it means some people's votes count more than others.

So, redistricting is when we divide up an area into smaller parts for voting, but we have to make sure it's fair for everyone.
