In a case with national significance, the Supreme Court has denied a request to delay a recent Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision. In that decision, is was found that state's Congressional map was unconstitutional and gerrymandered .

These decisions were influenced by the work of Gary King (Director of IQSS), whose 1987 paper (co-authored with Robert Browning) dealt with the issues surrounding partisan symmetry.

Drone Imagery in ArcGIS, a one-time Workshop will be held 1pm-5pm on February 23rd, 2018. Cody Benkelman, Technical Product Manager for Imagery at ESRI will lead the workshop and answer your questions. For more information and to Register please visit the workshop webpage
