  • Demonstrates redistricting by automating the process based on given parameters reflecting a desired outcome;
  • Demonstrates how redistricting can be used to establish an advantage for a political party or group (Gerrymandering); and
  • Facilitates incrementally adding functionality to its modeling capability.

Scope

  • A library (Java package) that provides utilities for building programs that investigate redistricting scenarios

Expanded Scope

  • A user interface for redistricting scenario exploration

Stakeholder Identification
