摘要

我们引入了一个框架来从理论和实证上研究选举选区划分不当——故意划定选区以推进党派目标，损害选民福利。我们确定了最大限度地提高选民福利的立法机构和最大限度地实现党派目标的立法机构，并将其纳入选区划分指数。该指数通过比较从实际立法机构到最近的党派和福利最大化立法机构的距离来衡量选区划分的意图。使用2008年总统选举数据和2010年人口普查的地区地图，我们发现地区地图中存在倾向共和党的偏见。我们的索引以直观的方式跟踪法院裁决。

ELECTORAL MALDISTRICTING

We introduce a framework to theoretically and empirically examine electoral maldistricting—the intentional drawing of electoral districts to advance partisan objectives, compromising voter welfare. We identify the legislatures that maximize voter welfare and those that maximize partisan goals, and incorporate them into a maldistricting index. This index measures the intent to maldistrict by comparing distances from the actual legislature to the nearest partisan and welfare-maximizing legislatures. Using 2008 presidential election data and 2010 census-based district maps, we find a Republican-leaning bias in district maps. Our index tracks court rulings in intuitive ways.
