60 distribution the second<00:08:28.080> from<00:08:28.240> the<00:08:28.479> left<00:08:28.720> shows<00:08:29.039> the<00:08:29.199> districts 00:08:29.670 --> 00:08:29.680 align:start position:0% second from the left shows the districts 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:30.230 align:start position:0% second from the left shows the districts that<00:08:29.840> are 00:08:30.230 --> 00:08:30.240 align:start position:0% that are 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.509 align:start position:0% that are that<00:08:30.400> are<00:08:30.639> compact 00:08:33.509 --> 00:08:33.519 align:start position:0% 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:36.949 align:start position:0% but<00:08:33.919> they<00:08:35.680> are<00:08:36.000> the<00:08:36.240> lines<00:08:36.479> are<00:08:36.640> drawn 00:08:36.949 --> 00:08:36.959 align:start position:0% but they are the lines are drawn 00:08:36.959 --> 00:08:37.589 align:start position:0% but they are the lines are drawn vertically 00:08:37.589 --> 00:08:37.599 align:start position:0% vertically 00:08:37.599 --> 00:08:39.829 align:start position:0% vertically and<00:08:37.760> the<00:08:37.919> outcome<00:08:38.880> matches<00:08:39.360> party 00:08:39.829 --> 00:08:39.839 align:start position:0% and the outcome matches party 00:08:39.839 --> 00:08:41.350 align:start position:0% and the outcome matches party distribution 00:08:41.350 --> 00:08:41.360 align:start position:0% distribution 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.750 align:start position:0% distribution so<00:08:41.599> you<00:08:41.760> get<00:08:42.000> two<00:08:42.719> two<00:08:42.959> districts<00:08:43.440> that<00:08:43.599> are 00:08:43.750 --> 00:08:43.760 align:start position:0% so you get two two districts that are 00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:45.350 align:start position:0% so you get two two districts that are purple<00:08:44.240> and<00:08:44.399> three<00:08:44.640> districts<00:08:45.040> that<00:08:45.279> are 00:08:45.350 --> 00:08:45.360 align:start position:0% purple and three districts that are 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:47.030 align:start position:0% purple and three districts that are green 00:08:47.030 --> 00:08:47.040 align:start position:0% green 00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:49.110 align:start position:0% green the<00:08:47.200> next<00:08:47.440> one<00:08:47.680> over<00:08:48.000> has<00:08:48.240> districts<00:08:48.800> that<00:08:48.959> are 00:08:49.110 --> 00:08:49.120 align:start position:0% the next one over has districts that are 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:50.470 align:start position:0% the next one over has districts that are compact 00:08:50.470 --> 00:08:50.480 align:start position:0% compact 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.030 align:start position:0% compact but<00:08:50.720> unfair<00:08:51.360> because<00:08:51.760> the<00:08:51.920> outcome<00:08:52.560> is<00:08:52.720> they 00:08:53.030 --> 00:08:53.040 align:start position:0% but unfair because the outcome is they 00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:54.389 align:start position:0% but unfair because the outcome is they the<00:08:53.279> green<00:08:53.839> always 00:08:54.389 --> 00:08:54.399 align:start position:0% the green always 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.509 align:start position:0% the green always wins<00:08:54.880> every<00:08:55.120> district<00:08:56.880> just<00:08:57.040> because<00:08:57.360> the 00:08:57.509 --> 00:08:57.519 align:start position:0% wins every district just because the 00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.110 align:start position:0% wins every district just because the lines<00:08:57.760> are<00:08:57.920> horizontal<00:08:58.560> rather<00:08:58.880> than 00:08:59.110 --> 00:08:59.120 align:start position:0% lines are horizontal rather than 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:00.310 align:start position:0% lines are horizontal rather than vertical 00:09:00.310 --> 00:09:00.320 align:start position:0% vertical 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.110 align:start position:0% vertical and<00:09:00.480> then<00:09:00.720> in<00:09:00.800> the<00:09:01.040>

align:start position:0% 00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:17.829 align:start position:0% so<00:09:15.839> in<00:09:16.080> this<00:09:16.399> next<00:09:16.720> slide 00:09:17.829 --> 00:09:17.839 align:start position:0% so in this next slide 00:09:17.839 --> 00:09:20.470 align:start position:0% so in this next slide we<00:09:18.080> explain<00:09:19.040> some<00:09:19.279> of<00:09:19.360> these<00:09:19.519> concepts<00:09:20.080> again 00:09:20.470 --> 00:09:20.480 align:start position:0% we explain some of these concepts again 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:21.670 align:start position:0% we explain some of these concepts again but 00:09:21.670 --> 00:09:21.680 align:start position:0% but 00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:23.590 align:start position:0% but go<00:09:21.839> a<00:09:21.920> little<00:09:22.160> deeper<00:09:22.640> into<00:09:22.880> these<00:09:23.040> concepts 00:09:23.590 --> 00:09:23.600 align:start position:0% go a little deeper into these concepts 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:24.949 align:start position:0% go a little deeper into these concepts of<00:09:23.920> cracking 00:09:24.949 --> 00:09:24.959 align:start position:0% of cracking 00:09:24.959 --> 00:09:28.630 align:start position:0% of cracking and<00:09:25.200> packing<00:09:26.560> so 00:09:28.630 --> 00:09:28.640 align:start position:0% and packing so 00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:30.630 align:start position:0% and packing so this<00:09:28.880> is<00:09:29.040> an<00:09:29.279> example<00:09:29.680> from<00:09:29.839> the<00:09:30.000> washington 00:09:30.630 --> 00:09:30.640 align:start position:0% this is an example from the washington 00:09:30.640 --> 00:09:32.550 align:start position:0% this is an example from the washington post<00:09:31.200> and<00:09:31.440> again<00:09:31.760> it<00:09:31.920> doesn't 00:09:32.550 --> 00:09:32.560 align:start position:0% post and again it doesn't 00:09:32.560 --> 00:09:35.910 align:start position:0% post and again it doesn't represent<00:09:33.200> any<00:09:33.440> particular<00:09:34.320> political<00:09:34.880> party 00:09:35.910 --> 00:09:35.920 align:start position:0% represent any particular political party 00:09:35.920 --> 00:09:37.350 align:start position:0% represent any particular political party we're<00:09:36.160> just<00:09:36.320> going<00:09:36.480> to<00:09:36.560> use<00:09:36.720> the<00:09:36.880> purple<00:09:37.200> and 00:09:37.350 --> 00:09:37.360 align:start position:0% we're just going to use the purple and 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.110 align:start position:0% we're just going to use the purple and green<00:09:37.680> to<00:09:37.839> represent 00:09:39.110 --> 00:09:39.120 align:start position:0% green to represent 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:42.230 align:start position:0% green to represent those<00:09:39.440> differences<00:09:41.120> and<00:09:41.360> depending<00:09:41.920> on 00:09:42.230 --> 00:09:42.240 align:start position:0% those differences and depending on 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:45.110 align:start position:0% those differences and depending on how<00:09:42.480> the<00:09:42.720> lines<00:09:43.200> are<00:09:43.279> drawn<00:09:44.080> it<00:09:44.399> determines 00:09:45.110 --> 00:09:45.120 align:start position:0% how the lines are drawn it determines 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:46.230 align:start position:0% how the lines are drawn it determines the<00:09:45.360> outcome<00:09:45.920> for 00:09:46.230 --> 00:09:46.240 align:start position:0% the outcome for 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.910 align:start position:0% the outcome for who<00:09:46.640> is<00:09:46.800> going<00:09:47.040> to<00:09:48.399> prevail<00:09:49.040> in<00:09:49.279> each<00:09:49.519> of<00:09:49.600> those 00:09:49.910 --> 00:09:49.920 align:start position:0% who is going to prevail in each of those 00:09:49.920 --> 00:09:50.630 align:start position:0% who is going to prevail in each of those districts 00:09:50.630 --> 00:09:50.640 align:start position:0% districts 00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:53.829 align:start position:0% districts so<00:09:50.800> in<00:09:50.959> the<00:09:51.040> first<00:09:51.519> example<00:09:52.399> again<00:09:52.959> green<00:09:53.360> wins 00:09:53.829 --> 00:09:53.839 align:start position:0% so in the first example again green wins 00:09:53.839 --> 00:09:56.710 align:start position:0% so in the first example again green wins all<00:09:54.080> four<00:09:54.880> in<00:09:55.040> the<00:09:55.200> second<00:09:55.680> example<00:09:56.160> the<00:09:56.399> lines 00:09:56.710 --> 00:09:56.720 align:start position:0% all four in the second example the lines 00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:57.509 align:start position:0% all four in the second example the lines are<00:09:56.800> drawn 00:09:57.509 --> 00:09:57.519 align:start position:0% are drawn 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.870 align:start position:0% are drawn so<00:09:57.760> that<00:09:58.800> one<00:09:59.040> of<00:09:59.279> the<00:09:59.519> districts 00:10:00.870 --> 00:10:00.880 align:start position:0% so that one of the districts 00:10:00.880 --> 00:10:03.670 align:start position:0% so that one of the districts has<00:10:01.120> a<00:10:01.360> purple<00:10:01.760> majority<00:10:02.720> and<00:10:02.880> green<00:10:03.279> has<00:10:03.519> the 00:10:03.670 --> 00:10:03.680 align:start position:0% has a purple majority and green has the 00:10:03.680 --> 00:10:04.790 align:start position:0% has a purple majority and green has the other<00:10:03.920> three 00:10:04.790 --> 00:10:04.800 align:start position:0% other three 00:10:04.800 --> 00:10:06.630 align:start position:0% other three so<00:10:04.959> you<00:10:05.120> can<00:10:05.279> see<00:10:05.600> how<00:10:05.920> the<00:10:06.079> first<00:10:06.399> one 00:10:06.630 --> 00:10:06.640 align:start position:0% so you can see how the first one 00:10:06.640 --> 00:10:09.350 align:start position:0% so you can see how the first one cracking<00:10:07.760> those<00:10:08.079> voters<00:10:08.480> have<00:10:08.640> been<00:10:08.800> divided 00:10:09.350 --> 00:10:09.360 align:start position:0% cracking those voters have been divided 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:10.069 align:start position:0% cracking those voters have been divided up 00:10:10.069 --> 00:10:10.079 align:start position:0% up 00:10:10.079 --> 00:10:12.790 align:start position:0% up
