Center for Voting and Democracy
http://www.igc.org/cvd/
Excellent site! "The Center for Voting and Democracy researches and
disseminates information on how voting systems affect voter participation,
accountable governance and fair representation. We specialize in reapportionment
and the broad range of proportional representation systems that allow most
voters to elect representatives of their choice."
Census
2000 and the Congressional Apportionment
http://www.census.gov/dmd/www/apportionment.html
Gives the history of congressional apportionment and explains the
method that is currently used to calculate apportionment.

http://www.colorado.edu/education/DMP/activities/index.html
Includes several activities for each of the following topics: Election
Theory, Fair Division, Graph Theory, Counting Techniques, Discrete Probability,
Matrix Models, Mathematics of Iteration/Recursion.
Fair Division
http://www.math.hmc.edu/~su/fairdivision/
Page from a math professor at Harvey Mudd College which includes
a link to a Fair Division calculator (Java applet).
Math 131
http://saturn.vcu.edu/~gasmerom/MAT131.html
Page from a math professor at Virginia Commonwealth University which
includes links to lecture notes treating fair division.
Villanova
U MAT1220
http://renoir.vill.edu/math/archives/mat1220/examples/00readme.html
Yet another page from a math professor, describing the course "Discrete
Mathematics with Social Science Applications" - probably more useful for
you as an instructor than to the students directly; some links to software.
