In line with Ed Feigenbaum's post-Bandemer factual history, what
information do we have about whether aggressive partisan gerrymanders
survive at least a second round of re-districting? If we take the most
aggressive gerrymanders of the 1990s, how many of them successfully endured
the 2000 round of districting? I know that Texas did, since the
federal-court drawn plan was based on the 1990s district, and in some
states, the effect of Shaw will make this difficult to assess. But any
general views on this? This is a form of O'Connor's question about
self-correction, if enduring a decade of manipulation is not itself injury
enough.
