A Comparison of Precinct and District Voting Data Using P...

Gerrymandering is one of the biggest threats to American democracy. By manipulating district lines, politicians effectively choose their voters rather than the other way around. Current gerrymandering identification methods (namely the Polsby-Popper and Reock scores) focus on the compactness of congressional districts, making them extremely sensitive to physical geography. To address this gap, we extend Feng and Porter's 2021 paper, which used the level-set method to turn geographic shapefiles into filtered simplicial complexes, in order to compare precinct level voting data to district level voting data. As precincts are regarded as too small to be gerrymandered, we are able to identify discrepancies between precinct and district level voting data to quantify gerrymandering in the United States. By comparing the persistent homologies of Democratic voting regions at the precinct and district levels, we detect when areas have been "cracked" (split across multiple districts) or "packed" (compressed into one district) for partisan gain. This analysis was conducted for North Carolina House of Representatives elections (2012-2024). North Carolina has been redistricted four times in the past ten years, unusually frequent as most states redistrict decennially, making it a valuable case study. By comparing persistence barcodes at the precinct and district levels (using the bottleneck distance), we show that precinct level voting patterns do not significantly fluctuate biannually, while district level patterns do, suggesting that shifts are likely a result of redistricting rather than voter behavior, providing strong evidence of gerrymandering. This research presents a novel application of topological data analysis in evaluating gerrymandering and shows persistent homology can be useful in discerning gerrymandered districts.
