Again, be sure to understand redistricting. The President provided the Congress and state legislatures with the 2010 census data in January. Although not yet necessary, state legislatures should have redistricted by now or be well on their way to doing so. The new district lines should be avaialble to voters starting early next year for the primaries and ultimately the general election in November. However, House members elected from the new districts will not take office until 2013.
