I accept a feeling that election maps are going to characteristic quite a lot this coming week. So let's teach the ball rolling amongst an interactive map from the Washington Post which gives a gerrymandered grade for each congressional district inward the United States.
The Washington Post has determined the gerrymandered grade of each district based on the "ratio of the district expanse to the expanse of a circle amongst the same perimeter". The trial of this crude oil analysis is that districts which follow a regular variety tend to hold upward to a greater extent than compact too grade depression on this ratio, piece districts which accept a lot of squiggles too offshoots grade highly too are rated every bit beingness to a greater extent than gerrymandered.
The How Gerrymandered is your Congressional District? map colors each congressional district based on this gerrymandered score. You tin mouse-over each district on the map to thought its gerrymandered score, the patch average grade too the cite & political party of the district's representative. You tin too read a piddling to a greater extent than most how the scores were determined too which states accept the most gerrymandered districts inward the Post's article on America's Most Gerrymandered Congressional Districts.
