The gerrymander data for the U.S. House of Representatives was severe before
1964-1966 when the U.S. Supreme Court required one person- one vote in
districts within a State (thus raising minority rule percentages in most
states to around 30 percent- just over half the votes in just over half the
districts).    Since there was a blatantly unconstitutional failure to
reapportion seats after the 1920 Census, the 1922-1930 data is doubly severe
(which helped set the stage for the 1929-1941 Great Depression).

Election method folk may wish to estimate the effects of using p.r. for
elections.
