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)

翻译：为何没有一台计算机只绘制地图? 当人们谈论银色画时,你经常听到这个故事, 一开始很容易想到这可以解决重新划分的问题。 但这个想法有不少问题。 在本章中, 两位计算机科学家调查了算法重新划分时做过的工作, 讨论什么不起作用, 并突出显示承诺的方法。 这个预印是作为即将出版的编辑版《政治几何学》中的一章编写的, 这是一份关于重新划分的跨学科论文集 。 (https://mggg.org/gerrybook)
