> About the talk:
> The U.S. Supreme Court is considering a case this term, Gill v Whitford, that might lead to the first constitutional 
> constraints on partisanship in redistricting. Eric McGhee is the inventor of the efficiency gap, a measure of 
> gerrymandering that the court is considering in the case. He will describe the case's legal background, discuss some 
> of the metrics that have been proposed for measuring gerrymandering, and reflect on the role of social science in the 
> litigation.
