Big Data Visualization Project Helps Identify Unfair District Maps

A Harvard University project named The Algorithm-Assisted Redistricting Methodology (ALARM) Project has software that can randomly draw thousands of district maps within a state to ascertain the effects of gerrymandering on election results.

It found that no matter how the US House districts are drawn in Massachusetts, the US House delegation will include zero or one Republican.

However, its analysis of Florida showed that US House district gerrymandering boosted from 16 Republicans (on average) in the 28 member delegation to the actual number of 20 Republicans elected in 2022.

Here is an article on this project, and thanks to electionlawblog.org for tipping us off on this!

  6. Look up black box voting, electronic voting fraud, et c. Way worse than paper, which is already terrible as it is. Voice voting was much better.

  9. The Republicans in Massachusetts might do better if all 9 US Reps were elected at-large.

  10. I am none of those horrible things. I am just a simple whale, with a nice little, underwater farm, who loves wind farms because they are scientifically proven to be safe. People who say otherwise hate America and want the terrorists to win.

  11. You ain’t no whale, beyotch. Stopthesethings Dotcom proves your lies are falsehoods. Whales don’t farm, moron, and wind farms kill whales, which is the real reason you support them. You hate America and want terrorists to win. Yes you do.
