Carr in 1962, had far more than jurisprudential consequences. They sparked a massive wave of extraordinary redistricting in the mid-1960s. Both state legislative and congressional districts were redrawn more comprehensively - by far - than at any previous time in America's history. Moreover, they changed what would happen at law should a state government fail to enact a new districting plan when one was legally required. This book provides a detailed analysis of how judicial partisanship affected redistricting outcomes in the 1960s, arguing that the reapportionment revolution led indirectly to three fundamental changes in the nature of congressional elections: the abrupt eradication of a 6% pro-Republican bias in the translation of congressional votes into seats outside the south; the abrupt increase in the apparent advantage of incumbents; and the abrupt alteration of the two parties' success in congressional recruitment and elections.Political economy of institutions and decisions.Apportionment (Election law)United StatesElection districtsUnited StatesUnited StatesPolitics and government1945-1989United StatesPolitics and government1989-Apportionment (Election law)Election districts328.73/07345Cox Gary W.497721Katz Jonathan N(Jonathan Neil),1968-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910449751703321Elbridge Gerry's salamander2450459UNINA
