Abstract In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court considered a proposed mathematical formula to help detect unconstitutional partisan gerrymandering. We show that in some cases, this formula only flags bizarrely-shaped districts as potentially constitutional.

TLDR
The efficiency gap formula made headlines for the key role it played, particularly in the ongoing Wisconsin case, and the general mathematics audience might find benefit in a concise, self-contained overview of this application of mathematics that could have profound consequences for democracy.
Gerrymandering and Compactness: Implementation Flexibility and Abuse
TLDR
It is shown that when the full range of implementation flexibility is used, it can be abused to make clearly gerrymandered districts appear quantitatively reasonable, complicates using compactness as a legislative or judicial standard to counteract unfair redistricting practices.
Utility Ghost: Gamified redistricting with partisan symmetry
TLDR
It is proved that in an idealized setting, if both parties have the same number votes, then under optimal play in the protocol, both parties win the same amount of seats.
A Cut-And-Choose Mechanism to Prevent Gerrymandering
TLDR
This paper presents a novel mechanism to endogenously determine the fair division of a state into electoral districts in a two-party setting that always yield fair outcomes, up to integer rounding.
Gerrymandering and the Impossibility of Fair Districting Systems
Voting district boundaries are often manipulated, or gerrymandered, by politicians in order to give one group of voters an unfair advantage over another during elections. To make sure a system of…
Centralized Fairness for Redistricting
TLDR
This work introduces a family of well-motivated distance measures over redistricting maps and selects the map which minimizes the sum of the distances from the collection, i.e., the most “central” map.
Simulations to Analyze Cellular Voting Systems for Side Effects of Democratic Redistricting
TLDR
A modification of the theory of discrete Markov chains using the algebraic structure of the semiring $[0,\infty]$, which is used as a space of correlation coefficients to measure voter preferences and model representatives, voters, and districts in computationally feasible models with a guarantee of long-term stability.
