The Voting Rights Act demands that legislative districts be "compact." However, no legal standard exists for what compactness actually means! In this study, we'll show you pictures of real legislative districts, and you'll tell us which ones you think are more compact. With enough participants, we can develop a new legal standard for preventing gerrymandering!
