Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the only book to date to analyze the impact of congressional redistricting and reapportionment from the early 1960s to the 1980s. Equal-population redistricting, and the 1970 and 1980 reapportionments shifted seats in the House of Representatives to suburbia and the sunbelt. While the new district alignments influenced changes in several aspects of the House, conservatives, Republicans, and sunbelt Representatives failed to make significant gains in power as had been predicted.
