Competitive Fair Redistricting; Professor Mattias POLBORN (Vanderbilt University)

Abstract

We consider the process of political redistricting after the decennial census. We call rules for redistricting fair if each party cannot be blocked from implementing a district map that guarantees that it wins a majority in the legislature whenever it wins the popular vote. We show that, through a system that involves both political parties in the redistricting process, fairness can be achieved.
