 This 
 year, elected officials in state 
 governments across the country will use 
 the results of the 2020 Census to choose their 
 voters, rather than giving voters the chance 
 to choose them, by drawing unfair Congressional 
 district maps in a process known as gerrymandering. 
 In this talk we'll look at some mathematical 
 methods of quantifying the partisan 
 gerrymander and discuss the role of the U.S. 
 Supreme Court in informing such methods.\n\n
