How to create adjacency list for non-contiguous geographic areas

[apantazi]

I'm dealing with Florida congressional maps and trying to figure out what the best way is to coerce an adjacency object for non-contiguous parts of the state (namely, islands across the state and particularly near the Florida Keys). Do I have to edit the adjacency object by hand or are there easier ways to do it?

Yep, you'll have to manually fix it. However, the geomander package from our own @christopherkenny provides some functions that make this super easy. suggest_neighbors() and add_edge() in particular should be useful.
