摘要

我们调查了立法区不同的人口规模是否会影响党派不公正划分选区的能力。我们推测,更多的人口为地图绘制者提供了更多的“原材料”来操纵,从而促进了党派的不公正划分,这可能会使这些地区变得不那么紧凑。基于党派偏见、地区人口和紧凑性的证据表明,人口较多的地区鼓励党派扭曲,部分原因是违反了紧凑性。对参众两院州立法地图的回归分析显示,即使考虑到选区的其他方面以及影响各州如何划分选区的《投票权法》要求,人口较多的选区在地图上也会导致更多的党派偏见。

District Populations and Partisan Bias

District Populations and Partisan Bias

We investigate whether the differing population sizes of legislative districts affect the ability to engage in partisan gerrymandering. We conjecture that larger populations facilitate partisan gerrymandering by providing mapmakers with more “raw material” to manipulate, and this might make such districts less compact. Evidence based on measures of partisan bias, district population, and compactness suggests that more populous districts encourage partisan distortion and do so partly through violations of compactness. Regression analysis of lower and upper chamber state legislative maps shows that more populous districts lead to more partisan bias in maps even after accounting for other aspects of districts and Voting Rights Act requirements that affect how states draw district lines.

期刊介绍: The Legislative Studies Quarterly is an international journal devoted to the publication of research on representative assemblies. Its purpose is to disseminate scholarly work on parliaments and legislatures, their relations to other political institutions, their functions in the political system, and the activities of their members both within the institution and outside. Contributions are invited from scholars in all countries. The pages of the Quarterly are open to all research approaches consistent with the normal canons of scholarship, and to work on representative assemblies in all settings and all time periods. The aim of the journal is to contribute to the formulation and verification of general theories about legislative systems, processes, and behavior.
