[EL] Artificial Partisan Advantange in Redistricting

[Michael Latner]

The Gelman/King asymmetry measure is specifically designed to measure unequal treatment of voters, not disproportionality between party seat shares. Indeed, what is most useful about the measure relative to others is that it partitions responsiveness, disproportionality that results from the seat bonus of the largest party, from bias, disproportionality which results from the unequal treatment of voters, given their distribution across districts.
