Answer: redraw voting districts that are roughly equal in population
Explanation:
In Baker v. Carr (1962), held that Tennessee had infringed the constitutional right of equal protection and forced its legislature to reapportion itself based on population. Before that, rural areas had been overrepresented when compared to urban and suburban areas, especially in the South. Although this case didn´t change electoral districts immediatly, it did set a precedent about federal courts addressing redistricting, and by 1964, in Wesberry v. Sanders and Reynolds v. Sims, the United States House of Representatives and the state legislatures were required to establish electoral districts of equal population based on the idea of one man, one vote.
