RE: Mathematicians are deploying algorithms to stop gerrymandering - MIT Technology Review

Honestly, I did not know what gerrymandering meant initially. I guess I learned a new word today. The fact that theoretical Mathematical principles are being applied to real-life issues to provide solutions is awesome.

Agreed. I learned from @primevaldad's post that this is a 400 year old problem, but it's nice to see a new approach towards solving it. In all those centuries, I think this could be the first time that voters will have concrete information available to know whether our districts are drawn fairly.
