摘要
选区划分的出发点是选举公平,但政治家们为了自身的利益常常会操纵选区划分,使选区划分偏离公平的轨道。选举不公平划分的技术可分为四种理想类型:(1)集聚对手的选票;(2)分散对手的选票;(3)区别对待现任者;(4)对复数选区的选择性使用。这些技术类型在选举政治历史上的广泛运用,让人们看到民主政治光环背后阴暗的一面。
Redistricting takes fair election as the point of departure. However, politicians usually manipulate redistricting for their own interests. Generally, there are four technologies of gerrymandering: ( 1 ) packing the opposition ; (2) splitting the opposition ; (3) differential treatment of incumbents ; and (4) selective use of muhimember districts. The practices of these technologies in the electoral history display the seamy side of democracy.
