Congressional Elections
Elections to the House of Representatives (every 2 years) and Senate (every 6 years, staggered), including the significance of midterm elections and the impact of gerrymandering.
Real World
After the 2020 census, Republican-controlled legislatures in states like North Carolina redrew congressional maps to pack Democratic voters into fewer districts, a process courts challenged as extreme partisan gerrymandering.
Exam Focus
Distinguish midterm elections from presidential-year elections in your answer — turnout patterns and their consequences are a common mark-scheme point.
