I have written a book on congressional gerrymandering, titled "Ground War: Courts, Commissions, and the Fight over Partisan Gerrymanders" that has just been released by Oxford University Press.



The book is now available on Kindle and will be available in hard copy within the next two weeks.

You can download a free sample of the first ~35 pages here:
https://www.amazon.com/Ground-War-Commissions-Partisan-Gerrymanders-ebook-dp-B09RKH38KB/dp/B09RKH38KB

Here's is a pre-order link from OUP with some additional info:

I'm happy to answer any questions about the book on here, or I also created a new Twitter account for this discussion @Nick_Goedert.

(I also posted this to the congressional elections forum, but figured it might be of interest here as well.  Moderators please delete or move if not allowed.)

A+ use of the hideous former congressional districts of my state for the cover!  Best of luck with sales!    Cheesy

Thanks!  It actually took the art team a few tries to figure out what map I was requesting, but I think the graphic came out great.

And as an academic book, I’m much more looking for luck with tenure rather than sales….though of course sale wouldn’t hurt!

Here's a (multipart) tweet describing a few of the findings of the book and how they relate to the new maps being enacted for the current cycle:

A twitter thread on the new measure of partisan bias I propose in my book:



Also, it looks like the book is now available in paperback on Amazon (though I still have yet to receive any hard copies).

It looks like Amazon is running a pretty big sale on my book: 75% off, and only $7 for the paperback or Kindle!
