As I stated in my deliverables word document, I did not find an effect from scale on vector data. Of course, scale affects the visual representation of the data but the assignment had us testing numeric values within the data. The resolution affect on raster data was more apparent, the diminished resolution had a direct affect on the statistical analysis done on the data.
Gerrymandering is the intentional drawing of voting districts to nullify certain populations voting power, whether that be done on a political or racial bias. It can be measured by searching for odd segments that seem to oddly cutout nearby populations or connect distant ones. See below for an example of an offender failing to have district 'compactness'.
