We enforce a maximum population deviation of 0.5% and add a pseudo-county constraint to reduce county and municipality splits. Since Milwaukee County has a greater population than the target district population, we split Milwaukee County by municipality lines.
No manual pre-processing decisions were necessary.
Simulation Notes
We sample 10,000 districting plans for Wisconsin over 2 independent runs of the SMC algorithm.
No special techniques were needed to produce the sample.
Really great work @taransamarth ! Let's show the validity plot / summary stats in the meeting today, because I think this one is good to go. Thanks for closely following the documentation example too.
Redistricting requirements
In Wisconsin, districts must:

Data for Wisconsin comes from the ALARM Project's 2010 Redistricting Data Files.
