which group has generally used its power to gerrymander congressional districts?
state legislatures
the census bureau
the house of representatives
congress
Gerrymandering of congressional districts is typically done by state legislatures. The Census Bureau is responsible for collecting population data, not redistricting. The House of Representatives is the body that is elected from these districts, not the one that draws them, and Congress as a whole doesn't gerrymander districts (it's more at the state level for congressional districts). So state legislatures have the power to draw congressional district boundaries and often use it for gerrymandering.
