November 11th Assignment - Click on the "Redistricting" link. Once there, do the following activities. Type your responses and be prepared to turn them on on Friday, November 18th.

Link 1 - Read the six articles on Redistricting. According to these articles, which political party do you think will benefit most in this 2010 post census redistricting? Why?

Link 2 - What is the "shortest splitline algorithm"? If this method was used to redistrict, describe Candice Miller's future. What would the positives and the negatives be using this method?

Link 3 - This is obviously a site that has been constructed by one of the following: a political science genius, a prison inmate with a lot of time on his hands, or an idiot savant. Look at this site, clicking on the links on the right side and taking some time to visit each. When you're done, explain what the most novel solution to redistricting you discovered and tell me why.

Link 4 - Play the game. When you're done, consider all of the time that you spent on the 4 links and write a reflective paragraph explaining your experience.
