John Engler, former Governor of Michigan, once claimed that redistricting is one of the purest actions a legislative body can take. Academicians and political leaders alike, however, have regularly debated the ideal way by to redistrict national and state legislatures. Rather than being the pure process that Governor Engler envisioned, redistricting has led to repeated court battles waged on such traditional democratic values as one person, one vote, and minority rights. Instead of being an opportunity to help ensure maximum representation for the citizens, the process has become a cat and mouse game in many states with citizen representation seemingly the farthest idea from anyone's mind. From a purely political perspective, those in power in the state legislature at the time of redistricting largely act like they have unilateral authority to do as they please. In this volume, contributors discuss why such an assumption is concerning in the modern political environment

备用描述
"By focusing on states that either gained or lost congressional seats as a result of the decenial census, we present case studies that help demonstrate how different states handle redistricting. Despite having the same task before them (and computer programs capable of drawing theoretically perfect districts), there is still a winner-take-all mentality amongst majority parties in state legislatures when the time comes to draw the lines. Through this book, we hope to share myriad of struggles faced across our nation as states strive to draw district lines."--Page xvii
备用描述
In this volume, scholars discuss the most recent wave of redistricting Congress. Emphasizing the state-level factors and processes, the volume ultimately shows how national requirements and state requirements come together to permit states to be largely self-responsible for what they do in terms of drawing districts.
