Abstract: This research is an analysis of redistricting between the 2018 and 2022 midterm elections and its consequences regarding Black political mobilization and participation. An examination of redistricting after the 2020 census and its implications on racial mobilization is a defining objective of the study. Essentially, the primary aim of the study is to assess the nature of redistricting and gerrymandering on Black voter participation by comparing the 2018 and 2022 midterm elections.
