论文摘要
关于在一个州的最近投票模式：宾夕法尼亚州的最近投票模式，该预印本提供了定性和定量的详细外观：宾夕法尼亚州。我们调查了政治地理倾斜的游击党竞争环境。特别是我们仔细研究了尺度的作用。我们发现，党派中立地图很少与投票成正比，并且使地区规模较小的席位往往使找到比例地图变得更加困难。该预印本是作为即将编辑的《政治几何形状》的一章准备的，这是一本关于重新分区的论文的跨学科集合。 （mggg.org/gerrybook）
This preprint offers a detailed look, both qualitative and quantitative, at districting with respect to recent voting patterns in one state: Pennsylvania. We investigate how much the partisan playing field is tilted by political geography. In particular we closely examine the role of scale. We find that partisan-neutral maps rarely give seats proportional to votes, and that making the district size smaller tends to make it even harder to find a proportional map. This preprint was prepared as a chapter in the forthcoming edited volume Political Geometry, an interdisciplinary collection of essays on redistricting. (mggg.org/gerrybook)
