Answer: The house is part of congress that makes laws. Each state has a number of house members based on its population. For example, New York has 26.
The state is divided into districts where residents in the district elect one house member each. The districts should have equal population, but sometimes they are drawn unfairly to favor one party over another.
For example, the drawer might put 4 cities that support the other party in one district, so they only get one house member instead of four.
