Ground War

In Ground War, Nicholas Goedert examines the complex issues surrounding partisan gerrymandering in Congress, arguing that nonpartisan commissions are better suited than courts to ensure fair redistricting. He highlights how current legal standards often fall short in addressing biases that arise from electoral conditions and state demographics. Using empirical methods and a new metric, Goedert advocates for adopting independent redistricting commissions across states as a practical solution. This rigorous analysis offers valuable insights for anyone interested in the mechanics and reform of the U.S. electoral system.
