Mathematicians Find Biases in House of Representatives

A mathematical study of the US House of Representatives reveals clear partisanship - including stacked committees - within the House.
While this may not surprise political analysts, the objective analysis contradicts the US Code, which outlines US laws and suggests a just system in which all legislation receives a fair hearing from politicians who put the country’s interests ahead of their political party’s. The words “non-partisan” and “unbiased” appear frequently in the code.
Among the study’s findings is that the membership of the Select Committee on Homeland Security, formed after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, is closely tied to the House Rules Committee, a powerful group involved in the regulation of all committees and House members. But, contrary to expectation, the Homeland Security committee does not have many members in common with the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
The paper identifies the House Rules, Judiciary, and Homeland Security committees as containing being the most partisan while the Intelligence committee is one of the least partisan.
