“…Previous work shows that much, if not most, of partisan advantage in districting is due to gerrymandering. Indeed, partisan control of the districting process consistently enables parties to gain a large partisan advantage in subsequent elections (Cox and Katz 2002; Gelman and King 1994b; McGhee 2014; Stephanopoulos 2018). Recent work also finds that the effect of gerrymandering on partisan advantage in districting is often much larger than that of geography, particularly over the last couple districting cycles (Bangia et al.…”

“…There are a variety of ways that scholars have measured partisan advantage in the districting process. One approach is the efficiency gap (EG) (McGhee 2014; Stephanopoulos and McGhee 2015). Both cracked and packed districts “waste” more votes of the disadvantaged party than of the advantaged one.…”

“…The efficiency gap, a metric developed in McGhee and Stephanopoulos and McGhee , measures the level of partisan gerrymandering in a state by quantifying the net amount of wasted votes for each political party. The scholars define a vote in a district as wasted if the vote is cast for a losing candidate, or the vote is cast for a winning candidate in excess of the number of votes needed for the winner to secure a majority of votes.…”

“…But it seems shortsighted to only judge the overall bias of a map with respect to a single, closely contested election. Indeed, recent scholarship such as that of Stephanopoulos and McGhee (2015) has expanded on the notion that bias should be judged with respect to 50/50 election by measuring vote efficiency in maps across a range of election environments (see also McGhee, 2014). This note replicates my 2012 analysis using the recent election data, and finds that these same factors play a much less certain role in inducing bias during the Republican popular vote wave of 2014, despite the same maps being in effect.…”
