Abstract
Past research efforts in congressional redistricting have focused on party bias in redistricting plans without ever directly measuring the attitudes of the state legislators. In this study we specifically measure the goals that state legislators would like to achieve as they formulate a congressional redistricting plan. Overall, state legislators possess the party loyalty necessary to produce partisan plans, but a number of conflicting demands placed upon them inhibit the full realization of party objectives.
期刊介绍:
Long established as the leading publication in its field, the journal of Commonwealth and Comparative Politics contains scholarly articles which both report original research on the politics of Commonwealth countries and relate their findings to issues of general significance for students of comparative politics. The journal also publishes work on the politics of other states where such work is of interest for comparative politics generally or where it enables comparisons to be made with Commonwealth countries.
