Nate Persily sent the following announcement to the election law listserv via email (reprinted with permission):

The website DrawCongress.org is now live. On this website you will see congressional redistricting plans drawn by students in my Redistricting and Gerrymandering Course at Columbia. Thus far, we have plans up for Virginia, New Jersey, Louisiana, Mississippi, Maryland, Oklahoma, Iowa, and Arkansas. Each posted plan includes a statewide map, individual district maps, plan statistics and reports, and a block equivalency file that can be downloaded and placed into any mapping program. In the coming months students at Harvard and Yale will also be placing maps up on the site and we invite others to do so as well. Anyone interested in doing so should contact me at npersi-at-law.columbia.edu.

Very exciting!
