Abstract
Perhaps the most hotly-debated case the Supreme Court has taken up in the past year is Gill v. Whitford, which will consider the partisan gerrymandering of legislative districts and, some hope, end it once and for all. Some politicos and analysts insist that this kind of gerrymandering is responsible for — among other things — reducing the competitiveness of districts and increasing partisan polarization in Congress and the electorate.
