Abstract
A computer implemented method for enforcing geographic contiguity of an optimization method for redistricting is described. The method includes randomly grouping a data set of objects into geographically contiguous districts, optimizing the objects by iteratively moving one or more objects between neighboring districts, wherein a relationship of objects is analyzed in each district to determine a minimal set of objects that will move together to maintain contiguity between districts, and generating one or more solutions for the data set.
