2. No, redistriciting voting precincts and county districts is a county thing
i am talking voter precincts not US Congressional districts

i have the public docs in our public library on the county commission set up to redistrict but i am looking for federal guidelines.

3. Believe federal regs only cover congressional districts.
Those guidelines cover

distribution of voters in each district
minority representation in each district

There may be some guidelines covering
natural geographic boundaries

States determine the size of precincts based on voters
