A good reference for Gerrymandering is Mark Monier's Bushmanders & Bullwinkles ( http://www.markmonmonier.com/bushmanders_and_bullwinkles__how_politicians_manipulate_electronic_maps_and_cens_15190.htm). I started to look at this back in 2012 but gave up after reading it as gerrymandering seems to be part of the design rather than a problem with the US system. I was planning on reimplementing some of the ZDes system of Stan Openshaw. (http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/papers/96-6/)
