A partisan districting protocol with provably nonpartisan outcomes [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 We design and analyze a protocol for dividing a state into districts, where parties take turns proposing a division, and freezing a district from the other party's proposed division. We show that our protocol has predictable and provable guarantees for both the number of districts in which each party has a majority of supporters, and the extent to ...

A Cut-And-Choose Mechanism to Prevent Gerrymandering [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 This paper presents a novel mechanism to endogenously determine the fair division of a state into electoral districts in a two-party setting. No geometric constraints are imposed on voter distributions or district shapes; instead, it is assumed that any partition of the population into districts of equal population is feasible.

An analysis of the Act 43 Wisconsin Assembly district map using the $\sqrt{\varepsilon}$ test [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In previous work [arXiv:1608.02014], we developed a rigorous statistical test for outlier status in a reversible Markov Chain, and demonstrated its utilization with an application to detecting gerrymandering in Pennsylvania's Congressional districting.
