contents The expansion of a polytope is an important parameter for the analysis of the random walks on its graph. A conjecture of Mihai and Vazirani states that all $0/1$-polytopes have expansion at least 1. We show that the generalization to half-integral polytopes does not hold by constructing $d$-dimensional half-integral polytopes whose expansion decreases exponentially fast with $d$. We also prove that the expansion of half-integral zonotopes is uniformly bounded away from $0$. As an intermediate result, we show that half-integral zonotopes are always graphical.
