Opis

Offers an historical perspective on the effects of gerrymandering on elections and party control of the US national legislature. Erik J. Engstrom evaluates the abundant cross-sectional and temporal variation in redistricting plans and their electoral results from all the states, from 1789 through the 1960s, to identify the causes and consequences of partisan redistricting.
