Replication Data for: Reviving Legislative Avenues for Gerrymandering Reform with a Flexible, Automated Tool

This repository contains replication materials for “Reviving Legislative Avenues for Gerrymandering Reform with a Flexible, Automated Tool.” There are three parts to this dataset, which are hosted both here and on GitHub (split between two) repositories. The GitHub READMEs are extensively hyperlinked, and may be easier to follow than the files here. The C4 package, its inputs, and the database preparation scripts used to create them. This software is C4 software is also loaded to JamesSaxon/c4 on GitHub (hash 12eb829) and it can be run as a "one-liner" from DockerHub. All of this is within the c4.tar.bz2 file. Voting data, deriver from Ansolabehere, Palmer, Lee, 2014 and Ansolabehere and Rodden, 2011, along with data from a number of states. And finally, data and analysis scripts for generating the tables and figures of the paper, in a JamesSaxon/district_analysis GitHub repo (hash 1470afd) that also contains the scripts for processing the voting data. The entire latter two pieces are in the compressed file district_analysis.tar.bz2. Note that there are, in data/splits/ of that file, three state-level regionalization files that are not contained on the GitHub because they were too large to be uploaded there. In addition, example output (maps) can be viewed interactively, on my website.

本仓库包含论文"以灵活自动化工具重振杰利蝾螈（Gerrymandering）改革的立法路径"的复现材料。本数据集共分为三部分，同时托管于此仓库及两个GitHub仓库中。GitHub上的README文档包含大量超链接，相较于此处的文件可能更易于理解。第一部分为C4软件包、其输入文件及用于生成这些文件的数据库预处理脚本，该C4软件已上传至GitHub上的JamesSaxon/c4仓库（哈希值（hash）12eb829），可通过Docker Hub（DockerHub）以"单行命令"形式直接运行，所有相关内容均包含在c4.tar.bz2压缩文件中。第二部分为源自Ansolabehere、Palmer、Lee（2014）以及Ansolabehere与Rodden（2011）的投票数据，以及多个州的配套数据。第三部分为生成论文表格与图表所需的数据及分析脚本，相关内容托管于GitHub上的JamesSaxon/district_analysis仓库（哈希值（hash）1470afd），该仓库同样包含处理投票数据的脚本，后两部分的全部内容均包含在district_analysis.tar.bz2压缩文件中。需注意，该压缩文件中data/splits/目录下包含三个州级区域化文件，因体积过大无法上传至GitHub，故未随仓库同步发布，此外，示例输出（选区地图）可在我的个人网站上以交互形式查看。
