The governor of a state appoints a committee charged with redistricting the voting districts according to population.
revision of the geographic boundaries within a state
A political unit such as a state is divided into districts for the purpose of electing representatives to a legislative body. If the basis of election is population, with equal number of people represented by each elected member, the boundaries of the district must be changed after each census if the population changes. This is called redistricting (drawing new district boundaries).
People of mixed white and black ancestry are not a distinct culture. The notion that certain races of people all have the same customs is incorrect and shockingly ignorant.

Redistricting
depending on the gerrymandering the outcome can be greatly affected
The control of the apportionment and redistricting process varies depending on the country and sometimes within different levels of government. In many democracies, such as the United States, the responsibility falls on the state government. In some cases, independent commissions or bipartisan committees may be responsible for conducting the process to ensure fairness and prevent gerrymandering.

redistricting. It involves redrawing boundaries for electoral districts to ensure equal representation based on population changes.
Apportionment
gerrymandering is redistricting to where one political party has an advantage over the other, while normal redistricting is just remapping districts.
Redistricting is always controlled by the state legislature following the census. It is approved by the governor and/or by the redistricting commissions in states such as Arizona and Iowa.
