Reviews
'Gerrymandering the States is an astute and insightful analysis of the empirical, normative, and practical aspects of the politics of redistricting. As a clear-headed guide to the intricacies and stakes involved in the new round of redistricting after the 2020 census, and with ideas about how to reduce opportunities for partisan mischief, it could not be timelier. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand or influence this process.' Gary Jacobson, University of California, San Diego

Synopsis
Drawing on sweeping data, this book sheds light on patterns and determinants of partisan gerrymandering at the state level and demonstrates the close alignment between race and redistricting. The authors find that gerrymandering has profound effects on voting rights and public health policy and offer best practices for reform., State legislatures are tasked with drawing state and federal districts and administering election law, among many other responsibilities. Yet state legislatures are themselves gerrymandered. This book examines how, why, and with what consequences, drawing on an original dataset of ninety-five state legislative maps from before and after 2011 redistricting. Identifying the institutional, political, and geographic determinants of gerrymandering, the authors find that Republican gerrymandering increased dramatically after the 2011 redistricting and bias was most extreme in states with racial segregation where Republicans drew the maps. This bias has had long-term consequences. For instance, states with the most extreme Republican gerrymandering were more likely to pass laws that restricted voting rights and undermined public health, and they were less likely to respond to COVID-19. The authors examine the implications for American democracy and for the balance of power between federal and state government; they also offer empirically grounded recommendations for reform.
