520 3 _aCourt-ordered redistricting int he mid-1960s eradicated severe disparities in the populations of U.S. state legislative districts. We examine the geographic distribution of money by states to counties. Cross-sectional analysis shows that counties with relatively more legislative seats per person prior to redistricting received relatively more transfers from the state per person. Over time, counties that lost legislative seats subsequently received a smaller share of stae funds per capita. We calculate that population equalization significantly altered the flow of state transfers to counties, diverting aproximately $7 billion annually from formerly overrepresented to formerly underrepresented counties, and effect missed by past studies. For those concerned with the sesign of democratic instituions around the world today, the American experience provides clear evidence of the political consequences of unequal representation
