Très intéressant. Quelles sont les chances que le #redistricting (#découpage_électoral) déclenché par le recensement de 2020 et le contentieux juridique qui ira avec intègrent une estimation mathématique du degré de charcutage ?
Oui, c’est surtout ça qui est intéressant : savoir mesurer le charcutage. Les algorithmes pour créer les cartes « parfaitement justes » ne seront sûrement pas appliqués (et auront sûrement leurs biais aussi).

The map above shows U.S. congressional districts as they are today.
The map below shows U.S. congressional districts as they might be using a computer-generated algorithm to make the districts compact.
Avec cette remarque
Any neutral drawing of boundaries will give some advantage to Republicans and to us white people, because Republicans and whites are more spread out while Democrats and minority groups tend to be concentrated in cities.
That means that in a particular state, Democrats could have a majority of the whole state’s vote, but Republicans have a majority in more congressional districts than Democrats do.
I don’t see any good answer to this. A neutral formula such as the one above would be less one-sided than what we have now.

Every ten years, in a process that profoundly impacts American politics, the legislative districts are redrawn to determine who votes where. But because of a practice called gerrymandering “we, the people” are not necessarily deciding who represents us.

Ou encore, cet exemple du Michigan où les démocrates sont majoritaires en voix mais où les républicains emportent 9 des 14 sièges à la Chambre des représentants.
