RedistrictingTheNation.com is Live — Political Gerrymandering Research

I wanted to share a quick note that we launched RedistrictingTheNation.com today.

Redistricting the Nation allows the public to:

  • Enter their address (nation-wide) and view the “shape” of their federal, state, and local election districts.
  • Learn who is in charge of drawing the boundaries of their election districts (e.g., independent commissions or elected representatives).
  • Compare the “compactness” scores of their election district to other, similar districts (less compact and unusually shaped districts are more likely to be gerrymandered).
  • Draw new district boundaries on a map and generate compactness scores for the new district.
