By David Lublin and D. Stephen Voss
Listed by Harvard Professor Theda Skocpol as one of the 10 "hot" papers at APSA (The Washington Monthly, Sept. '97, pg 14), although under an old title.
A note drawn from this research, stressing that current case law systematically favors the Republican party, appeared in the Stanford Law Review. A second excerpt of the piece, organized around Lublin's inventory of Democratic congressional seats lost because of racial redistricting in the early 1990s, has been turned over to editor Michael McDonald of Binghamton University for a special issue of the American Review of Politics.

These files can be read using the freeware Ghostview/Ghostscript, available from numerous Internet sites (including ftp.cs.wisc.edu).
Feel free to cite this work, and please let us know if you do so. The newer version is significantly shorter, and in our opinion a much better paper than the earlier draft. Interested readers probably should turn to this version. The older draft is included primarily for anyone who would rather cite the "official" conference version. Unfortunately, even in this APSA version, pagination does not match that of the hard copy distributed during the APSA meeting.
