Description
This book shows how the Supreme Court's reapportionment decisions sparked a wave of extraordinary redistricting in the mid-1960s.
Reviews
"[T]his is the only book in print to analyze the partisan and electoral consequences of congressional reapportionment and redistricting. Highly recommended for lower-division undergraduates and above." Choice
"Elbridge Gerry's Salamander will be of interest to students of congressional elections, electoral institutions, and the courts...[It] should be required reading for graduate seminars on the topic. This book is the new standard for research on this topic and is sure to lead to vigorous debates concerning the impact of redistricting on incumbency safety and partisan bias." Congress & the Presidency
"...a study with important new findings relating to the impact of the reapportionment revolution." Perspectives on Politics
