Yesterday was so fun, but hectic! I gave a talk on http://redistrict.science [preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.04640 ] and it was also coincidentally #GISday. I was focussing on how I did what I did using Javascript, Cython, C, Python, GIS, etc. Today I'd like to talk about the science.

Did your algorithm account for roads, township, county boundaries? I'd argue you can't run a random line diagonally across Iowa

No, but it can. Check out Discussion in preprint here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.04640

Also to be clear the algorithm doesn't try random lines. Some other algorithms for this, do indeed try what you describe.
