Efficiency gap by Wikipedia Bot 0
The efficiency gap is a metric used to measure the degree of partisan gerrymandering in electoral district maps. It quantifies the difference in how effectively each political party converts votes into seats in a legislative body. Specifically, it calculates the number of "wasted votes" for each party and uses this information to determine how efficiently each party is able to gain representation based on the votes it receives.
