The committee must submit written evaluations for every map recommend to the legislature.  Part of the evaluation is a partisan fairness evaluation.  The committee hired Professor David Cottrell to evaluate all maps for partisan fairness.  Measures of partisan fairness will be informed by  (i) prior partisan election data in New Mexico, collected within the past ten years; (ii) a comparison of the committee’s adopted plans for each districted body against an ensemble of computer-simulated district plans for each districted entity, so long as those district plans include constraints imposed by the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, and identified by the committee; and (iii) established standards for measuring partisan gerrymandering, including the efficiency gap, the mean-median difference, and partisan symmetry.
