Might be interested. In any case seems a good idea.

I think the best order to do it would be:

1. Virginia
2. Wisconsin
3. Indiana
4. Kentucky

Bottom two are relatively normal maps. Virginia goes top because that map has actually been struck down.

Yeah sounds pretty solid.

I'll get cracking soon enough with a draft for Virginia.

I'll make my own map later, but that looks fairly sweet.

I vote for Item 4 and 5. Although, I suppose in some cases strong skews/polarisation isn't really avoidable. I don't really like gerrymanders for competitiveness.

I don't totally understand item 7, could you explain it a little more please, Muon?
The way I interpreted it was a score on how inequitable the deviation of the districts are. So the higher the deviation, the higher the inequality score.

I'm guessing the numbers are based on a square root or something? My mathematic theory knowledge hasn't had much fine-tuning.

Hate to say it, but this is getting into really wanky territory. It makes it hard for us commissioners to understand.

What's your preference on Item 8, since some version is needed to score Item 10? As Miles-A illustrates in the SE region, the CHOP score depends on whether the ICs are merged into their counties or not.
I tend to prefer Item 8A, but I suspect I'm a bit idiosyncratic there.....
