.@Chris_T_Kenny and @michalmigurski wrote a great API for @PlanScore in R. Enables you to easily extract a variety of data on new districting plans, including local government plans being developed now across the country. christophertkenny.com/PlanScoreR/
In today’s @washingtonpost @monkeycageblog, @hezaproject, @michalmigurski, and I show that in the most recent redistricting cycle commissions generally drew fairer and more competitive maps than politicians.
Redistricting commissions draw fairer districts than politicians do wapo.st/3BKvmTj
Now that redistricting is nearly done, @hezaproject, @michalmigurski, and I have a new paper forthcoming in Publius: The Journal of Federalism that provides an overview of the Congressional & state legislative districts that were drawn around the country. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
New work in nationwide redistricting and partisan advantage tracking from the @IPPSR team at Michigan State University!

Nice use of @PlanScore showing the NY maps to be almost perfectly fair. This is unalloyed good news for the state senate, though not for Congress where a fair NY map fails to offset Republican gerrymanders elsewhere.

This is not acceptable. Bipartisan, independent commissions are the key to upholding our democratic institutions #redistricting
#NEW: GOP lawmakers have introduced a joint resolution to abolish the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission. tinyurl.com/bstfcbbz
This is @PlanScore's evaluation of the plaintiffs' proposed NY congressional map: It's about as biased toward Republicans as the enacted plan was toward Democrats.

Florida’s new Congressional map shows strong pro-Republican bias across all of our metrics. planscore.campaignlegal.org/plan.html?2022…
I could keep going all day about the problems with this map, but I need to stop tweeting and start lawyering, so here's my TL;DR: This map is a blatant partisan gerrymander, flying in the face of FL voters who made clear at the ballot box that they want fair, nonpartisan maps.

Good @boltsmag article on 2022's state Supreme Court elections, which could lead to courts that green-light Republican gerrymanders in NC and OH later this decade. boltsmag.org/supreme-court-…
@meyerjef @RRHElections Declination metric offers a great view into how close districts can be used to tilt the balance.
@districks Derp, sorry, forgot about the gain.
Two notably well-balanced US Congressional district plans have entered the chat. North Carolina’s court-ordered 13 seats with an efficiency gap of just 1.4%: planscore.campaignlegal.org/plan.html?2022… Pennsylvania’s 17 seats with a tiny 1.8% EG: planscore.campaignlegal.org/plan.html?2022…
210 years ago today, the map that gave us the term gerrymandering became law (though the famous cartoon wouldn’t be published until March 26 - they didn’t have @davesredist or @PlanScore back then)
#OTD in #history, 1812, #Massachusetts Gov. Elbridge Gerry signed into law a senate map that sought to advantage his party. The drawing of one district was so byzantine, it resembled a salamander. Critics combined Gerry & salamander to create the popular portmanteau: gerrymander.
Excellent group effort going on in redistricting this year, everyone building on each other's selfless work in pursuit of fair maps
This is very cool: In an expert report for a new lawsuit challenging MI's legislative maps brought by the League of Women Voters, @cwarshaw cites data calculated by @DKElections drive.google.com/file/d/1yzWAyr…
Nick succinctly reviews findings from a paper evaluating US House plans in the current cycle with PlanScore: More fair on partisanship, commissions are good, competitiveness has dropped in GA, IN & TX, and black voters are losing representation in AL & SC planscore.campaignlegal.org/2022-redistric…
Check out this awesome new paper by @hezaproject @michalmigurski @cwarshaw. It's the most rigorous study of the current redistricting cycle -- covering congressional AND state legislative maps. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
Pennsylvania Legislative Reapportionment Commission (@PaLegis) released their final approved state legislative plans last Friday - find their partisan skew analyzed across several metrics on @PlanScore's library: planscore.campaignlegal.org/library/pennsy…
The Economist offers a quick partisan review of new U.S. House maps as they stand so far with a word from @ProfNickStephan economist.com/united-states/…
The Alabama plaintiffs made use of @vest_team data. The Virginia special masters used VEST data. The NC court calls for gerrymandering measures found on @PlanScore, which uses VEST data. Really proud to see our behind-the-scenes work over the past 4 years result in fair maps
