About Drawing the Lines

Radical redistricting plans such as that pushed through by Texas governor Rick Perry in 2003 are frequently used for partisan purposes Perry s plan sent twenty one Republicans and only eleven Democrats to Congress in the 2004 elections Such heavy handed tactics strike many as contrary to basic democratic principles In Drawing the Lines Nicholas R Seabrook uses a combination of political science methods and legal studies insights to investigate the effects of redistricting on U S House elections He concludes that partisan gerrymandering poses far less of a threat to democratic accountability than conventional wisdom would suggest Building on a large data set of the demographics of redrawn districts and subsequent congressional elections Seabrook looks less at the who and how of gerrymandering and considers more closely the practical effects of partisan redistricting plans He finds that the redrawing of districts often results in no detrimental effect for district level competition Short term benefits in terms of capturing seats are sometimes achieved but long term results are uncertain By focusing on the end results rather than on the motivations of political actors Seabrook seeks to recast the political debate about the importance of partisanship He supports institutionalizing metrics for competitiveness that would prove more threatening to all incumbents no matter their party affiliation
