PlanScore uses four measures to define partisan gerrymandering and maintains a time-series dataset. Most federal and state legislators are elected from districts, and every ten years state governments redraw district boundaries through redistricting. PlanScore promotes fairness in the redistricting process and provides tools for policymakers and advocates to score new district maps and assess whether maps are fair or gerrymandered. The project also offers access to a comprehensive historical dataset of partisan gerrymandering. Growing public awareness of gerrymandering is anticipated, reinforced by online content and outreach such as FlowingData's newsletter.
Most of our federal and state legislators are elected from districts. Every ten years, state governments redraw district boundaries in a process known as redistricting. PlanScore promotes fairness in the redistricting process. We make it easy for policymakers and advocates to score new district maps and assess whether they're fair or gerrymandered. We also provide access to the most comprehensive historical dataset of partisan gerrymandering ever assembled.
PlanScore uses four measures to define partisan gerrymandering, and they've made the data available over time. I think this could be the year that more people learn what gerrymandering is. Only a few thousand more AI-generated memes to go. FlowingData Delivered to Your Inbox
