Presidential v. Congressional Campaigns
Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.
10 | 17
Lower turnout in off years means that candidates must appeal to more motivated and partisan voters
Members of Congress can do things for their constituents that the president cannot
Members of Congress can distance themselves from the “mess in Washington”

Congressional Elections

Drawing District Boundaries
Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.
10 | 19
Malapportionment: districts have very different populations, so the votes in the less-populated district “weigh more” than those in the more-populated district
Gerrymandering: boundaries are drawn to favor one party rather than another, resulting in odd-shaped districts
Music can explain& clarify ; )
