Replication Data for: Gerrymandering and Compactness: Implementation Flexibility and Abuse

As a case study demonstrating the effect, we show that commonly-used measures of geometric compactness for district boundaries are affected by several factors irrelevant to fairness or compliance with civil rights law.
