No manual pre-processing decisions were necessary.
Simulation Notes
We sample 5,000 districting plans for Wisconsin across 2 independent runs of the SMC algorithm.
We use a pseudo-county constraint to limit the county and municipality splits. Municipality lines are used in Milwaukee County.
These are larger than the target population for a district.
No special techniques were needed to produce the sample.

Note: Consistent with previous discussions and other states, we remove the cores requirement, as it is not a state requirement, rather a court directive for how to approach the new lines.
Redistricting requirements
In Wisconsin, districts must:
Interpretation of requirements
We enforce a maximum population deviation of 0.5%. We add a pseudo-county constraint as described below.
Data Sources
Data for Wisconsin comes from the ALARM Project's 2020 Redistricting Data Files.
