Jowei Chen, a political science professor at the University of Michigan, had a computer draw 1,000 versions of Kansas congressional maps, using non-partisan and traditional guidelines.
The results? The map Kansas lawmakers passed this year had more Republican districts than 98.8% of Chen's simulations.
"This extreme, additional level of partisan bias ... can be directly attributed to the map-drawer's clear efforts to favor the Republican Party," Chen said in a written report filed in Wyandotte County District Court.
