The Election Law Clinic is proud to collaborate with PlanScore to make redistricting fair and easy to understand.
PlanScore is made up of legal, political science, and mapping technology experts. With the help of code and data from election experts around the country, PlanScore scores and publishes district plans for all 50 states on an easy-to-use website.
PlanScore is building a service to score and publish district plans for all 50 states on an easy-to-use website. 1) To assist legislative staff when creating new plans, any geographic file uploaded by site visitors can be checked for its partisan, demographic, racial, and geometric features and optionally have its results shared publicly. 2) To help voters and journalists understand the characteristics of new plans, the comprehensive results for any plan proposed by a legislative majority can be referenced, shared, and linked in articles or social media. 3) To provide historical context for the partisan asymmetries of today’s plans, enacted maps all the way back to the 1970s will be scored and made available to site visitors.
