Abstract：
Important insights into the impact of governmental processes can be gained through an interdisciplinary approach that combines research from many fields, including statistics, operations research, computer science, high performance computing, math, law, and political science. Our work integrates insights from all of these disciplines to create a novel approach for analyzing and reforming the process of drawing electoral districts in the United States in a way that is tightly coupled with the framework that the US courts have outlined.
