How gerrymandered is my state?
Welcome to the website of the Princeton Gerrymandering Project! We research the effects of gerrymandering, a major bug in American democracy. On this site, you can check how gerrymandering affects your state and learn about efforts to solve the problem. You can also learn more about gerrymandering and our methods, and run the tests yourself.

The Latest, April 11, 2018: The Supreme Court Justices seem to be daunted by the number of tools available for measuring gerrymandering. In a Harvard Law Review blog post and an associated SSRN preprint, we organize these into a two-part framework.


Click on your state to see how it performs on our gerrymander detection tests. You can view the historical trends using the years selector above. You can also see how the tests work, or run your own with more detailed results.
