Description: This shows how a rubber-band polygon around a congressional district can help measure how gerrymandered it might be. The yellow district will get a lower score than the aqua district. The areas that aren't yellow inside the polygon, like the purple and pink areas, lower the score. A district that was already a convex polygon, like Wyoming, would get a perfect 1.0 score.
