Question

as a result of the supreme court decision in baker v. carr, courts can require states to
keep voting districts the same even if the population changes.
change the number of voting districts within the state.
appoint government officials if voting districts are unfair.
redraw voting districts that are roughly equal in population.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Supreme Court case Baker v. Carr established the principle of "one person, one vote," which requires that voting districts be roughly equal in population. So courts can require states to redraw voting districts to meet this equality. The first option is wrong as districts should change with population. The second option is incorrect as it's about equal population redrawing, not just number change. The third option is wrong as courts don't appoint officials for this.

Answer:

D. redraw voting districts that are roughly equal in population.
