This article examines the issue of aggressively partisan gerrymandering within the context of a Wisconsin-born case that the Supreme Court heard arguments on yesterday. Much of the issue in the case centers around wether or not one can find a concrete standard to determine how much gerrymandering is too much. The piece also discusses the role of modern data analysis and statistics in developing such a standard.
