      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.

      What we found is that not all gerrymandering is purposeful. It arises because states are hard to redistrict, especially larger states. The more districts a state has the more it is likely to be gerrymandered. [maps: http://redistrict.science  — preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.04640  ]pic.twitter.com/MgRWq0rwWj

      The redder a state is the more our method improvesd it. As you can see from the map (and based on analyses we did), bigger/more populous states are redder. Interactive maps can be found at: http://redistrict.science  and the preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.04640  has many more details.pic.twitter.com/AeESSkcidx

      Take top row [taken from the preprint https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.04640 ], that's Iowa (a), our algorithm (b) improves on it, even tho they are trying their best. That's the thing! Even when it's done by impartial committees, computers still district better! More: http://redistrict.science pic.twitter.com/1oYxiAMbMK

      I kind of question this. The Iowa system only looks in any way wonky because the state prioritizes maintaining continuity of existing political boundaries (counties, and cities and townships at the state district level). Not really better, just different priorities.

      Good and fair point. Agreed.

      I’m kind of curious how your algorithm handles the creation of minority majority districts as required by the Civil Rights Act? Do you have partisan modeling using prior cycle elections? Seems like prioritizing urban grouping is going to create D districts with huge #wasted votes

      Finally got to it. I agree with the general “human set parameters, computers compute” concept but disagree with your assertions on partisanship esp. in a two party system like the US. However I think the right solution isn’t solved by districting, it’s increasing # of reps.

      Replying to @tedger @o_guest and

      Correction: with single member districts the solution is increasing # of districts as it’ll lead to a more proportional result. Better: some form of proportional voting.

      Right, so you want to have a reform of the system in terms of the type of voting (from FPTP to PR) and the way states are allocated congresspeople. A more dramatic constitutional change then. Thanks for the feedback.

          Maybe what I’m grappling with is the presentation of the work (not necessarily by you): “solve gerrymandering!” vs. what seems like your conclusion “you can solve human problems with 🖥!” Your conclusions are pretty divorced from the outcomes, but that’s the focus of others

          Yes, you are correct that our point is “you can solve human problems with 🖥!” And you are also IMHO on the right track when you say others see it rhetorically and practically in a different way. 👍🏻
