520			_a"THE "STATES" OF REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY" --- "In a representative democracy as characteristics of the American population change, so do the demographics of those elected to serve in state offices. With census figures being tabulated, redistricting plans in the works and term limits taking effect, this is a good time to assess how well the faces in state governments mirror those of the people." (STATE GOVERNMENT NEWS) The author explains that "the 'face' of state governments will continue to change in tune with the interests of the voting population.".
520			_a"PUTTING THE PUZZLE PIECES TOGETHER" --- "Reapportionment and redistricing: Every decade, the process begins anew as political mapmakers redraw the boundary lines of every state Assembly, Senate and congressional seat in the state. Who's left in--and who's left out--become paramount concerns as incumbent lawmakers and various ethnic communities jockey for advantage." (CALIFORNIA JOURNAL) The author uses the state of California as an example of how redistricting and reapportionment works in the United States.
