Mathematical Analysis of Redistricting in Utah
Statistics and Public Policy, 2022 We discuss difficulties of evaluating partisan gerrymandering in the congressional districts in Utah and the failure of many common metrics in Utah. We explain why the Republican vote share in the least-Republican district (LRVS) is a good indicator of ...

Using Intelligent Clustering to Implement Geometric Computation for Electoral Districting
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2019 Traditional electoral districting is mostly carried out by artificial division. It is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it is also difficult to maintain the principles of fairness and consistency.

Political districting without geography
Operations Research Perspectives, 2022 Geographical considerations such as contiguity and compactness are necessary elements of political districting in practice. Yet an analysis of the problem without such constraints yields mathematical insights that can inform real-world model construction.

Understanding Significance Tests From a Non-Mixing Markov Chain for Partisan Gerrymandering Claims
Statistics and Public Policy, 2019 Recently, Chikina, Frieze, and Pegden proposed a way to assess significance in a Markov chain without requiring that Markov chain to mix. They presented their theorem as a rigorous test for partisan gerrymandering. We clarify that their ε-outlier test is
