Why not have a computer just draw a map? This is something you hear a lot when people talk about gerrymandering, and it's easy to think at first that this could solve redistricting altogether. But there are more than a couple problems with this idea. In this chapter, two computer scientists survey what's been done in algorithmic redistricting, discuss what doesn't work and highlight approaches that show promise. This preprint was prepared as a chapter in the forthcoming edited volume Political Geometry, an interdisciplinary collection of essays on redistricting. (https://mggg.org/gerrybook)

重新划分算法

为什么不用电脑直接画地图呢？当人们谈论划分选区时，您会经常听到这种说法，而且一开始很容易认为这可以完全解决重新划分选区的问题。但是这个想法有很多问题。在本章中，两位计算机科学家调查了在算法重新划分方面所做的工作，讨论了哪些行不通，并重点介绍了有希望的方法。这本预印本是作为即将出版的《政治几何》编辑的一章的一章准备的，这是一本关于重新划分的跨学科论文集。（https://mggg.org/gerrybook）
