Calculated Democracy--Explorations in Gerrymandering
McCune, David; Tunstall, Samuel Luke
Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, v41 n2 p47-53 Sum 2019
This paper describes a lesson centered around a metric for measuring partisan gerrymandering: the efficiency gap. We situate the efficiency gap in the current US political climate, describe the activity itself, and then provide recommendations for readers interested in adapting the lesson for their own classrooms.
