The political battle over congressional redistricting

"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"--P. xvii.
