While there is little question that court‐ordered reapportionment has changed the composition of state legislative personnel, it is still unclear whether reapportionment has had any significant impact on public policies. Evidence to date has been both contradictory and methodologically suspect. Using time‐series regression in a quasi‐experimental design, we examine the effects of reapportionment on expenditures in three policy areas within eight states—four control (states well apportioned before 1964) and four experimental (states egregiously malapportioned before 1964). Contrary to recent time‐series analyses on this topic, we find that the implementation of the “one man, one vote” ruling had little significant effect on the distribution of state expenditures believed beneficial to urban interests
