A new classification of metrics is introduced: Seats–Votes Partisan Advantage (). Metrics in this class measure whether redistricting plans favor one political party or the other. Ten prominent measures of partisan bias are computed for a cross-section of past, present, and hypothetical congressional plans and are classified with respect to this new taxonomy. Of these ten, only (dis)proportionality and the efficiency gap are found to be measures of . One newer metric measures as well.
引入了一种新的指标分类:席位-选票-党派优势()。这类指标衡量重新划分计划是否有利于一个政党或另一个政党。根据过去、现在和假设的国会计划的横截面计算了10个突出的党派偏见指标,并根据这一新分类法进行了分类。在这十项中,只有不成比例性和效率差距被发现是衡量的标准。还有一个新的度量标准。

This study catalogues party finance laws in multiple countries and identifies institutional factors that correspond to laws countries choose to adopt. Using data from international sources, we assessed differences in the regulation of money in elections in over 120 states. We classified countries into four types of party finance regimes along two axes: one that reflects regulations affecting party income and a second that reflects rules intended to make party finance more transparent. We found that two institutional factors are associated with the extent of government regulation in financing politics: the type of legal system and the use of proportional representation. Our study provides a new conceptual framework to categorize party finance regimes based on various types of regulations and the linkages between institutional factors and the extent of regulation. This conceptual typology offers a method to assess relationships between finance systems and political outcomes.

本研究对多个国家的政党财务法律进行了分类,并找出了与各国选择采用的法律相对应的制度因素。利用来自国际的数据,我们评估了120多个州在选举中对金钱的监管差异。我们沿着两个轴将国家分为四种类型的政党融资制度:一种反映影响政党收入的法规,另一种反映旨在提高政党融资透明度的规则。我们发现,两个制度因素与政府对政治融资的监管程度有关:法律制度的类型和比例代表制的使用。我们的研究提供了一个新的概念框架,根据不同类型的监管以及制度因素与监管程度之间的联系对政党融资制度进行分类。这种概念类型学提供了一种评估金融体系与政治结果之间关系的方法。

Quantifying Gerrymandering Using the Vote Distribution 用选票分布量化不公正的选区划分
IF 1.2 Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2018-03-01 DOI: 10.1089/ELJ.2017.0447
S. WarringtonGregory
Abstract One way to assess the presence of gerrymandering is to analyze the distribution of votes. The efficiency gap, which does this, plays a central role in a 2016 federal court case on the constitutionality of Wisconsin's state legislative district plan. Unfortunately, however, the efficiency gap reduces to proportional representation, an expectation that is not a constitutional right. We present a new measure of partisan asymmetry that does not rely on the shapes of districts, is simple to compute, is provably related to the “packing and cracking” integral to gerrymandering, and that avoids the constitutionality issue presented by the efficiency gap. In addition, we introduce a generalization of the efficiency gap that also avoids the equivalency to proportional representation. We apply the first function to U.S. congressional and state legislative plans from recent decades to identify candidate gerrymanders.
摘要分析选票分布是评估选区划分是否存在的一种方法。效率差距在2016年威斯康星州立法区计划是否符合宪法的联邦法院案件中发挥了核心作用。然而,不幸的是,效率差距缩小到比例代表制,这一期望不是宪法权利。我们提出了一种新的衡量党派不对称的方法,它不依赖于选区的形状,易于计算,可证明与不公正划分的“包装和破裂”相关,并且避免了效率差距所带来的合宪性问题。此外,我们引入了效率差距的概化,也避免了与比例代表的等价性。我们将第一个功能应用于近几十年来的美国国会和州立法计划,以确定候选人的不公正划分。

Abstract Considerable interest among academics and practitioners alike centers around identifying ways to improve voter turnout and voting parity across various subgroups in the U.S. population. Many scholars have investigated convenience voting and found mixed results in terms of its effects on turnout and its composition. A relatively new but unstudied method of voting is via ballot drop box, a method states and voters have increasingly turned to. We exploit the placement of over 30 new drop boxes in King County, Washington, the home of Seattle, during the 2016 election to investigate their effect on turnout. We find that distance to the closest ballot drop box increases one's probability of voting but primarily in off-year elections and primaries. We find mixed results for heterogeneous treatment effects. Implications are discussed.
摘要学术界和从业者都对如何提高美国人口中不同亚群体的投票率和投票均等感兴趣。许多学者对便利投票进行了调查,发现便利投票对投票率及其组成的影响参差不齐。一种相对较新但未经研究的投票方法是通过投票箱,各州和选民越来越多地转向这种方法。我们利用2016年大选期间在西雅图的家乡华盛顿金县放置的30多个新投票箱来调查它们对投票率的影响。我们发现,距离最近的投票箱的距离会增加一个人投票的可能性,但主要是在非年度选举和初选中。我们发现异质性治疗效果的结果参差不齐。讨论了影响。

The Impact of Political Geography on Wisconsin Redistricting: An Analysis of Wisconsin's Act 43 Assembly Districting Plan 政治地理对威斯康星州选区重新划分的影响——对威斯康星州第43号法案议会选区划分计划的分析
IF 1.2 Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2017-12-01 DOI: 10.1089/ELJ.2017.0455

Abstract This article illustrates how the relationship between political geography and the electoral bias of a districting plan, as measured by the efficiency gap, can be analyzed in a statistically rigorous manner using computer simulations of the legislative redistricting process. By generating a large number of different districting plans designed to optimize on traditional redistricting criteria, the computer simulation process demonstrates the range of districting plans that would likely emerge from a neutral, non-gerrymandered process. Courts and litigants can then draw inferences by comparing the efficiency gap of an enacted districting plan against this range of simulated plans. I use this method to illustrate how Wisconsin's Act 43 created an Assembly districting plan with an extreme, Republican-favoring efficiency gap that would not have been possible under a map-drawing process that prioritizes traditional redistricting criteria.
摘要本文阐述了如何使用立法选区重新划分过程的计算机模拟,以统计严谨的方式分析政治地理和选区计划的选举偏见之间的关系,用效率差距来衡量。通过生成大量不同的分区计划,旨在根据传统的重新划分标准进行优化,计算机模拟过程展示了中立、非选区划分过程中可能出现的分区计划的范围。然后,法院和诉讼当事人可以通过将制定的分区计划的效率差距与这一系列模拟计划进行比较来得出推论。我用这个方法来说明威斯康星州的第43号法案是如何创建一个具有极端、共和党支持的效率差距的议会选区划分计划的,这在优先考虑传统选区划分标准的地图绘制过程中是不可能的。

Fraud, plot, or collective delusion?: Social media and perceptions of electoral misconduct in the 2014 scottish independence referendum 欺诈、阴谋或集体妄想?:社交媒体和对2014年苏格兰独立公投中选举不当行为的看法

Abstract Online discussions of electoral fraud are becoming an increasingly important aspect of the electoral landscape in many contexts, as cyberspace is one of the few places where concerns about electoral conduct can be aired openly and freely. But it is often difficult to assess what this online activity tells us about actual electoral processes. This article analyzes a surge of tweets about electoral fraud at the time of the Scottish independence referendum of 2014 in order to ascertain whether this online activity reflected: (a) actual offline fraud observed by the social media users, (b) a concerted effort to undermine confidence in electoral administration, or (c) a collective delusion. Data mining and machine learning techniques are deployed in this analysis, which comes out strongly in favor of the collective delusion hypothesis.
摘要在许多情况下,关于选举舞弊的在线讨论正成为选举格局中越来越重要的一个方面,因为网络空间是少数几个可以公开自由表达对选举行为担忧的地方之一。但通常很难评估这种在线活动告诉我们实际选举过程。本文分析了2014年苏格兰独立公投时关于选举舞弊的推文激增,以确定这种在线活动是否反映了:(a)社交媒体用户观察到的实际线下舞弊,(b)破坏对选举管理信心的协同努力,或(c)集体错觉。数据挖掘和机器学习技术被应用于这一分析中,这有力地支持了集体错觉假说。

Data mining and machine learning techniques are deployed in this analysis, which comes out strongly in favor of the collective delusion hypothesis.","PeriodicalId":45644,"journal":{"name":"Election Law Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/ELJ.2016.0393","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45556068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract The success of a democratic election greatly depends on poll workers. However, our knowledge of citizen engagement in the organization of elections is still limited. This article studies the contextual factors that shape citizens' decisions to volunteer as poll workers. To accomplish this task, we take advantage of an original feature of the Mexican election system: the participation of randomly selected citizens in organizing and overseeing the operation of polling stations. We argue that the sociopolitical context in which elections take place greatly affects work at the polls. In particular, electoral competition and rising violence affect the organization of elections and citizen participation in this process. We find that competitive elections facilitate poll worker recruitment, especially in the early stages of the democratization process. However, at the same time, criminal violence depresses citizen participation in the organization of elections. This article contributes to the developing...
民主选举的成功与否在很大程度上取决于投票工作人员。然而,我们对公民参与组织选举的了解仍然有限。本文研究了影响公民志愿做投票工作决策的背景因素。为了完成这项任务,我们利用了墨西哥选举制度的一个原有特点:随机选择的公民参与组织和监督投票站的运作。我们认为,选举发生的社会政治背景极大地影响了投票站的工作。特别是,选举竞争和不断增加的暴力影响到选举的组织和公民对这一进程的参与。我们发现竞争性选举促进了投票站工作人员的招募,特别是在民主化进程的早期阶段。然而,与此同时,犯罪暴力也抑制了公民参与组织选举。这篇文章有助于发展……

We explain why Eric McGhee’s criticisms of our effort to establish a standard for detecting packing gerrymanders sometimes misapprehends and other times misunderstands the proper evaluation criteria.
我们解释了为什么Eric McGhee对我们努力建立检测包装不公平划分标准的批评有时会误解,有时会误解正确的评估标准。
