GIS, redistricting, and gerrymandering
Kenneth Bennett of RRCC passed a very interesting (though dense), thorough, and relevant article along, considering that redistricting will start in earnest next year. As he states:
This is a well-written and balanced article on redistricting and GIS technology that was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science in 2005. If you have the time, I encourage you to read it if you have not already done so.
