Desperately Seeking Standards: The Court's Frustrating Attempts to Limit Political Gerrymandering
By far the most significant form of gerrymandering is partisan gerrymandering. It is painfully ubiquitous and yet can be covert, hidden in plain view.

The Supreme Court Prohibits Gerrymandering: A Gain or a Loss for the States
The 1986 Davis v. Bandemer decision of the U.S. Supreme Court declared partisan gerrymandering to be justiciable, but overruled the federal district court's judgment that the Indiana legislative redistricting plan was unconstitutional. The Court split on the question of justiciability, and those justices who favored justiciability disagreed on the appropriate tests to apply in testing a districting plan for unfair partisan gerrymandering. The Cou…
