Ahh, I didn't realize you ment the program would take into account the actual rules of keeping towns & townships together and only dividing areas so much (to keep them together).
Ya, when you put it that way, it does seem very possible.
I guess I was thinking of how they use it now (supposedly) to gerrymander, and just pick the areas they want, which isn't what you were saying.
There is something in the propsal that says any one who registers to submit a proposal can, and I think they have to consider it, so if there was a computer program that could follow the rules, it would be pretty damn hard to beat, giving it a hands down victory. I'd have to read that part of the admendment again though, so don't quote me on it.
It would be interesting to find out if Iowa uses something like this for their redistricting. I referenced it earlier, but it really does look much more "politically correct" if you look into it.

That would be great!
