摘要

竞争性选举是民主问责制的必要条件，但大多数美国众议院选举是非竞争性的。使用1982年至2018年的地区级数据，我研究了重划制度与选举竞争之间的关系。我扩展了Carson, Crespin和Williamson(2014)的工作，将独立委员会和政治委员会分开，并发现，相对于立法重新划分，独立委员会进行竞争性选举的可能性是其2.25倍，并且它们使现任政党的获胜率降低了52%。

Independent Redistricting Commissions Are Associated with More Competitive Elections

ABSTRACT Competitive elections are essential for democratic accountability, yet most US House of Representatives elections are uncompetitive. Using district-level data from 1982 to 2018, I examine the relationship between redistricting institutions and election competition. I extend the work of Carson, Crespin, and Williamson (2014) by separating independent and political commissions and find that, relative to legislative redistricting, independent commissions are 2.25 times more likely to have competitive elections, and they decrease incumbent party wins by 52%.
