Redrawing the 2012 map of the Maryland congressional districts

Abstract

Gerrymandering is the practice of drawing biased electoral maps that manipulate the voter population to gain an advantage. The most recent time gerrymandering became an issue was 2019 when the U.S. Federal Supreme Court decided that the court does not have the authority to dictate how to draw the district map and state legislators are the ones who should come up with an electoral district plan. We solve the political districting problem and redraw the 2012 map of Maryland congressional districts which raised the issue in 2019.
