Abstract

Now that the 2020 census results are at hand, there is fear that US state legislatures will engage in partisan mischief to ensure that the dominant political party gets more seats in future elections than is justified by its share of the popular vote. We present an alternative to existing arrangements that would by its very construction eliminate the most glaring consequence of such “gerrymandering,” though the scheme creates another problem. We argue that this problem is considerably less consequential than one might at first fear.
